Rep. Lauren Boeberts Pride Flag Rant Receives Different Kind Of Salute

Extremist Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) on Wednesday faced criticism after she joined the right-wing freakout over the U.S. Air Force’s celebration of Pride Month .

Boebert took offense to this USAF tweet showing the silhouette of a saluting soldier and the rainbow flag,  which celebrates queer pride .

“We salute one flag and one flag only in the United States of America,” Boebert fumed on Twitter.

“It isn’t the ‘Pride’ flag,” she added.

Critics reminded the Donald Trump -endorsing Boebert of the MAGA- and Trump-themed flags often flown by the former president’s supporters, including during their Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as seen here:

Last year, rapper Tyson James , who Boebert once promoted on social media,  released a music video in which he burned Pride flags and spray-painted the word “abomination” on one.

Trump himself has been accused of disrespecting the Stars and Stripes on multiple occasions.
