Republican lawmakers are rallying behind a resolution from Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) that would prohibit members from bringing or displaying foreign flags on the House floor.
The proposed ban comes after Democrats waved small Ukrainian flags on the House floor when the chamber passed a $95 billion foreign aid package that allocated $61 billion toward boosting Ukraine in its war against Russia and giving assistance to regional partners.
“On the floor of the United States House of Representatives, there should only be one flag on display: ours,” Cammack said. “We make serious decisions on behalf of the American people and their taxpayer dollars on the House floor.”
She continued, “This business should be carried out beneath no other banner than our stars and stripes to remind us of who we represent and why this nation is the greatest in the history of the world. I’m glad to have earned the support of dozens of my colleagues who join me in standing up for the American people and putting our nation before all others.”
