Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Monday ordered 51-star American flags to be displayed along Pennsylvania Avenue ahead of Flag Day, June 14.
The mayor said she directed her team to hang the 51-star flags "as a reminder to Congress and the nation that the 700,000 tax-paying American citizens living in Washington, D.C. demand to be recognized.
The district government has placed 51-star flags along Pennsylvania Ave to the Capitol and around the White House in Washington, D.C., March 20, 2021, in advance of a statehood hearing in a congressional committee Monday.

But the very foundation of those ideals, and the basis for our liberty, is representation," Mayor Bowser said in a statement. "DC’s disenfranchisement is a stain on American democracy – a 220-year-old wrong that demands to be righted."
The stars on the American flag represent the 50 states, the last of which, Hawaii, was admitted on August 21, 1959. The American flag's 50-star design became official on July 4, 1960.

Another America hating Marxist who belongs in some communist country in chains.
Texas secedes, you can take that 50th spot you clowns.
“Texas secedes, you can take that 50th spot you clowns.”
FLORIDA TOO.
Can we give it back to England?
It would have been for Guam but it capsized...
My mistake, it’s 60 states now right? Some idiot former pResident said we have “57 to 59 states to go..”
These idiots residing there have no respect for the Constitution so make it plain. Part of me wonders just how the civilian settling of lands designated for Federal Government purposes ever even commenced.
desecration of the American flag is a crime - lock her up!!
700k doesn’t even constitute a large city, much less the population of a full fledged state. Even Rhode Island has a million plus.
Two or three are less. Wyoming is the least.
No one made them live there.
Was the star Red? Should have been. With a yellow hammer and sickle inside.
“desecration of the American flag is a crime - lock her up!!”
I thought so too.
Someone should tell Bow Wow that Puerto Ricans appreciate her adding an extra star. Symbolizing Puerto Rico as the 51st state.
Not the District of Corruption.
Note this flag has 3 stars. One for City of London, one for the Vatican, and one for DC.
They can join Maryland. Or better yet if they want to be a state they can take NOVA with them.
Gives new meaning to “false flag”
