Fox News Anchor Wrongly Claims It Is Illegal to Burn the U.S. Flag

‘It’s a crime to burn the American flag’

EXCERPT:

SHIMKUS: "And I know people do talk about, you know, critics of people who are so pro-flag, they say why does it matter so much. You have to always remember that what covers the coffin of a fallen soldier, the American flag, it is very important to honor it. There was a video of somebody who stopped burning of the flag at a protest, I think it was yesterday, with his hands. It means a lot to a lot of people. So there's also that."

BANDERAS: "Two people were arrested after that. It’s a crime to burn the American flag. That’s how much we respect our American flag."
