This is an election cycle ploy.
More visible the American flag, the more conservative the voter will vote.
Ban the flag to suppress the pro-American vote.
Remember the left HATED seeing American flags after 9/11
Remember the left admonished anyone flying an American flag for the Orlando shooting.
The Left hijacked the Orlando shooting and used it to segregate and play isolated victims (homosexuals, not Americans), and blamed Christian opposition to same sex marriages and transvestites in opposite sex locker rooms...
