Tennessee Mayor Criticized for Lowering Town’s Flag to Half-Staff on Inauguration Day
A Tennessee mayor drew criticism for a Facebook message and a picture of the town’s American flag at half-staff on Inauguration Day.
“While many critics accused him of trying to incite anger with the post, the mayor insisted that his post had nothing to do with Biden’s inauguration,” the Blaze reported Thursday.
In his Facebook message, Robert T. Keeton III, mayor of Bruceton, wrote, “The Town of Bruceton grieves for our Republic and our loss of freedoms. We mourn the victims of the Chinese plague and those that have suffered its depredations.”
“We pray that God delivers and restores us and that we do not fall to the clutches of communism,” he continued:
Looks like Bruceton is a tiny, rural town between Nashville and Memphis. I’m assuming they’re pretty conservative. I would bet his only criticism is because he put it on Facebook and there are only liberals there anymore. His constituents are probably fine with it.
I’d vote for him.
