Republicans have forced the “pride” flag to be run down the flagpole at America’s embassies.
The Biden administration’s zeal for what is referred to as “pride month” by flying the flags at embassies hit a brick wall in the form of the $1.2 trillion budget President Joe Biden signed on Saturday.
“The bipartisan funding bill I just signed keeps the government open, invests in the American people, and strengthens our economy and national security. This agreement represents a compromise, which means neither side got everything it wanted,” Biden said in a release, according to the New York Post.
Text Republicans inserted into the 1,012-page budget would end the practice that began under former President Barack Obama, was curtailed by former President Donald Trump, and blossomed anew under Biden.
“None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act may be obligated or expended to fly or display a flag over a facility of the United States Department of State” other than the U.S. flag, the POW/MIA flag, the Hostage and Wrongful Detainee flag, flag of a state, flag of an Indian Tribal government, official branded flag of a U.S. agency or the sovereign flag of other countries, the text said, according to NBC.
