President Biden and the rest of the White House celebrated Pride this weekend — but conservatives are crying foul, claiming JB broke the law in doing so … flag law, specifically.

Eventually, they found something on the grounds to pin their outrage to … a flag display hanging from the White House itself, with the Pride rainbow flag slotted in between two U.S. flags.
Article (e) reads, “The flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs.” Basically, the red, white and blue oughta take precedent and be most prominent among an assortment of flags — that’s the “rule.”
The reality … nobody is going to do squat about this — because, frankly, it’s not a big deal. More importantly, though, the U.S. Flag Code (while technically a federal law) is not enforced at all … and operates more as a recommendation on proper decorum/custom than anything.
