Controversy Surrounds White House Flag Display During Pride Month

Claims that the White House violated the US Flag Code by displaying a rainbow-colored Pride flag flanked by two American flags during a Pride Month event are wrong. The U.S. flag was flying atop the White House, adhering to the Flag Code. As commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, President Joe Biden had the right to display the flags for the event as he saw fit. The incident highlights the danger of misinformation on social media, where context is often missing, and disinformation campaigns can be effective.
