Members of the Revolutionary Communist Party in Philadelphia celebrated Independence Day by burning an American flag as the mayor spoke.
What a mean gesture on such an important day for the country.
City Hall reports:
Communists burn the American flag in Philadelphia on July 4
A group of far-left Revolutionary Communist Party activists disrespected the American flag and all it stands for by setting it on fire on Independence Day.
Just outside Independence Hall in Philadelphia, six left-wing extremists first disrupted the city’s Celebration of Freedom event by blowing air horns and shouting into a megaphone. They all joined hands as one of them pulled out an American flag and set it on fire.
They taunted those present, saying, “Come join us in a real revolution!”
The patriotic event was held to celebrate the day when independence from tyranny was proclaimed in 1776 and the struggle for freedom began in the United States.

2. After members of the Revolutionary Communist Party burned the American flags, they were pulled aside by the police and detained for a short time.
Officers eventually concluded that the burning of the flag is a legitimate protest, but issued a warning because the tote bag they were carrying also caught fire. pic.twitter.com/wvfnMBl4zl

Burning the American flag may be a protected form of free speech, but it’s still disgusting, and the symbolism of doing it on Independence Day makes it even worse.
What’s wrong with these people?
