Democrats are once again engaged in ‘fiery, but mostly peaceful’ behavior
Left-wing demonstrators took to the streets in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, with some of them burning American flags and hoisting a Palestinian flag up a flagpole.
The protest came in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking to Congress at the U.S. Capitol.
Footage shows an angry crowd outside the building chant, “Burn that shit,” as a young man pours lighter fluid on Old Glory and sets it on fire.
