[quote=Anonymous]Trump suggested criminalizing flag burning and there was outrage at the suggestion. But in 2006, Hillary Clinton sponsored a bill to do the same with little reaction. One of the co-sponsors was Barbara Boxer. [i] That bill (S.1911, The Flag Protection Act of 2005) was co-sponsored by Clinton, and proposed in part: Any person who shall intentionally threaten or intimidate any person or group of persons by burning, or causing to be burned, a flag of the United States shall be fined not more than $100,000, imprisoned for not more than 1 year, or both.[/i] Whatever one feels about the merits of criminalizing flag burning there is a hypocrisy in the outrage when Trump suggests it even while it was, for the most part, ignored when Clinton actually proposed a bill to do the same in 2006 - an effort that failed.
