A man was arrested on Monday across the street from the White House after he set an American flag on fire the same day President Donald Trump signed an executive order to crack down on flag burning.
The man, who described himself as a 20-year veteran, was seen in a video posted on Bulwark’s social media in Lafayette Park setting the flag on fire.
