Far-left “anti-fascist” and Black Lives Matters (BLM) activists stomped and danced on the United States flag Saturday as part of a Fourth of July protest in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.
The activists were caught on camera by Breitbart News stomping and dancing the Cha-Cha Slide on the flag. A number of those in attendance appeared to be affiliated with Refuse Fascism, an Antifa group founded in 2017 to combat President Donald Trump’s administration. Others in the crowd were also seen wearing BLM t-shirts and identified themselves as supporters of the cause.
“This flag has hurt so many of us, so come step on this flag,” one of the activists is heard, encouraging protesters to join in denigrating the flag, according to video captured by Breitbart News. “Get [this flag] dirty, that what this flag is, it’s dirty, it represents filth, greed, crime.”
The protest was one of several held across the country by Refuse Fascism, BLM, and other far-left groups. Officially, the activists claim the demonstrations are meant to show opposition to the death of George Floyd and support for tearing down statues and monuments, which they claim are a symbol of America’s racist and fascist history.
This is not the first time either Antifa or BLM activists have engaged in such conduct in front of the White House in recent months. In May, protesters upset over Floyd’s death set several U.S. flags ablaze, while alternatively chanting “hands up, don’t shoot” and obscenities at law enforcement.
As a result of that incident and others like it across the country, Trump floated the idea of sending individuals caught burning the U.S. flag to “jail for a year” at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma last month.

good videos of these DNC/commie/BLM/thugs will help the re=election campaign immensely
This protest will only be over when its time to go the mailbox and retrieve their monthly check courtesy of that flag they just walked on
I’d like to see their reaction if someone pulled out a rainbow flag and stomped it. Or maybe an antifa, isis, black panther banner. Free expression, right? Burn a Koran in front of them. See how much they really support free expression.
I can’t believe there is NO PROBLEM desecrating a US flag, IN the US, but the “Seinfeld” syndication is not allowed to show the next-to-last episode. Because a PUERTO RICO flag is ACCIDENTALLY burned.
When they call themselves “Anti-fascists” that is their first lie. The rest of the lies follow.
IF it wasn’t for that “flag”, these SOBs’ ancestors would probably been sent back to Africa or died in the fields. Everything they have is the result of that “flag”...everything.
Desecrate it at your peril, you no good, thankless SOBs....your day is coming, and it ain’t gonna be all peaches and cream like you think.
Indeed. I would like very much to have this cur surrounded by ;large US soldiers and asked to please state specifically how he has been hurt by the USA.
Nikki Haley was too stupid to understand that.
Yee. They accepted the premise that Confederate flags were slaver flags and now they’ll use the same arguments to haul down the Stars and Stripes.

“THE BEGINNINGS
It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late
With long arrears to make good,
When Americans began to hate.
They were not easily moved,
They were icy-willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere Americans began to hate.
Their voices were even and low,
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show,
When Americans began to hate.
It was not preached to the crowd,
It was not taught by the State.
No man spoke it aloud,
When Americans began to hate.
It was not suddenly bred,
It will not swiftly abate,
Through the chill years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That Americans began to hate Antifa and the BLM.”
Bastardized version of Kipling’s poem
If it were up to me, I would post Wanted posters, and there would be a $10,000 bounty for the capture, conviction and execution of anyone defacing our Flag.
Some of us tried to warn everyone but ridding the world of that “odious traitor flag” was of no consequence...then.
The rot may be just too extensive, and there is really no Conservative infrastructure to enable coordinated pushback.
Corporations that once were "all-American" are now explicit it this destruction, as is the majority of Republican politicians.
We can bitch and moan on FR and other sites, but that doesn't get our country back.
(I posit no solutions, just more bitchin' and moanin' - sorry)
Free beer tomorrow.
Exercise you right as an American citizen, defund these corporations and all businesses that support these animals, BOYCOTT! let the 13 percent and the jobless college idiots support them
Not saying not to boycott, but what are you going to do for the products you need like TP?
Do without? Use corncobs from corn you grow yourself?
And yeah, they know that. They calculate that they can make the decisions to piss off their customers because they know boycotts and protests are ineffective without braying media support that would affect them negatively. That same support for fascists is why they take these absurd positions.
It is hard to fight virtue signalling on such a massive scale with anything meaningful.
That’s why they put the word in quote marks.
Where they truly failed is calling them far-left. They represent the left at this point.
Is there a piece of land or an island somewhere that the US can buy and every person who wants to change our country or hates our President. Every person who wants to take a knee or stomp on the flag... have a plane ready for a trip to that land/island... let them start all over wherever they want... just LEAVE this United States in peace.
