Controversial “appeal To the sky a “flag that recently associated with the movement” to stop the theft “and Christian nationalism was flown over the Little Commercial Administration Agency (SBA) last week in Washington, DC.
On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former Senator from Georgia and current SBA manager, attended a ceremony Where a new flag of the United States was raised above the agency’s headquarters. Just below that flag, of what seemed to be the same Halyard, was an appeal to the heavenly flag. Sources say Wired that the flag “Appeal to Heaven” was raised for less than a day.
Although the roots of the flag date to the revolutionary war, in recent years it has become a popular symbol for the far right. The appeal to Heavenly Flag was swung from January 6, rioters at the Capitol in 2021 and became associated with President Donald Trump’s supporters, who deny the result of the 2020 presidential election.
“That the appeal to the Heavenly Flag is flown on a government building along with the US flag must be shocking to anyone who does not want to live in Theocracy,” says Jon Lewis, a research companion at the Extremism University program at George Washington University. “The contemporary use of the flag of appeal to heaven is a synonym for Christian nationalism, a full stop.”
“Those who took the appeal to the Heavenly Flag to the Capitol on January 6, did so because they really believed that they had the opportunity to inject Christian fundamentalism into the foundation of our democracy, and the image of the same flag on the SBA will give them extensive evidence they succeeded,” Lewis adds.
Other Republicans have previously shared their support for the flag of appeal to heaven. Speaker of the house Mike Johnson showed the flag outside his office, and the flag was arguably flown outside associated justice from the Supreme Court Samuel Alito Holiday home in New Jerseyerze. In an interview with the Related pressJohnson said he did not know that the flag is associated with election denunciations. In a a Letter to lawmakers Last year Alito said the same thing. (Alito also came under fire due to the flying of an upset US flag at his home in Virginia. Below flag It is a miserable signal that has been associated with right -wing protesters in recent years).
On June 11 Post on her X accountLoeffler wrote, “Today at the SBA’s flag, we proudly raised a new US flag over our headquarters in Washington. It is a privilege to serve under its stars and stripes – on behalf of the 34 million small businesses that represent the best in America.” The poster, which includes a photo of the flag of appeal to heaven and photos by Loeffler and others seemingly looking at both flags, still works.
