Republicans are observing this years Pride Month with complaints about the rainbow flag being flown on federal properties, including at the White House.

Its another way the GOP is leaning into culture war issues that are animating its base amid broader efforts to restrict transgender rights nationwide.

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) took issue with the way a pair of U.S. flags hung next to a Pride flag on the balcony of the White House for a concert to commemorate Pride Month on Saturday, where President Joe Biden praised the extraordinary courage of LGBTQ Americans while acknowledging the discrimination and violence the community faces.

This is a disgrace, the Kansas senator tweeted . Not only is it in breach of US Flag Code, but its a glaring example of this White Houses incompetence and insistence on putting their social agenda ahead of patriotism.
