Rep. Duncan’s “Old Glory Only” bill

Jeff Duncan, South Carolina’s 3rd District representative to Congress, is reporting three additional co-sponsors of his bill that would prohibit the flying of any flag other than the U-S flag over U-S diplomatic and consular posts.  Republican Duncan counts three House colleagues from Texas, Arkansas, and Florida as new co-sponsors, bringing to the total of them, so far, to 20.  Since 2018, Duncan has pursued his “Old Glory Only Act” in response to a state department official putting up a rainbow flag over a South American embassy.  Recently, according to Duncan’s office, Secretary of State Antony Blinken authorized all U-S embassies and consulates overseas to fly the BLM flag on their official flagpole.
