As some Democrats mock President Donald Trump for signing an executive order cracking down on burning the American flag, a clip has resurfaced of then-New York Democratic Sen. Hillary Clinton calling for a very similar prohibition against flag desecration.
In a resurfaced clip from 2006, Clinton took to the Senate floor to advocate on behalf of a bill titled the "Flag Protection Act" that she said would make it a crime to desecrate the American flag.
Addressing the Senate president, Clinton said, "I hope, Mr. President, that we can pass a law that criminalizes flag burning and desecration."
Clinton said, "I agree wholeheartedly that maliciously burning or destroying an American flag is a deeply offensive and despicable act," adding that it "disrespects our nation, it belittles the sacrifices of our brave veterans, it even sends a message to the soldiers who fight today protecting our freedom that their service is in some way to be disrespected and discounted."
