A controversial “Appeal to Heaven” flag that has recently been associated with the Stop the Stale and Christian nationalism flew above the small business administration agency (SBA) last week in Washington, DC.
On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, former Senator of Georgia and current SBA administrator, Participated in a ceremony where a new -American flag was proposed at the Agency headquarters at DC. Just below the North -American Flag, about what seemed to be Halyard himself, it was a “attractive flag in the sky”. Sources say in Wired that the “appeal to the sky” flag was raised less than a day.
Although the roots of the flag date from the revolutionary war, in recent years it has become a popular symbol for the far right. The flag “Appeal to Heel” was shaped by the riots of January 6 in 2021 and has been associated with the supporters of President Donald Trump who deny the result of the 2020 presidential election. The flag has also been linked to Christian nationalists, who believe that the United States should be a Christian nation, more than a secular one.
“That the flag of” appeal to the sky “is flown in a government building next to the North -American flag should be shocking for anyone who does not want to live in a theocracy,” says Jon Lewis, a George Washington University extremism program. “The contemporary use of the Appeal to Heaven flag is synonymous with Christian nationalism, full stop.”
“Those who brought the flag of” appeal to the sky “on January 6 did so because they really believed that they had the opportunity to inject Christian fundamentalism into the very foundation of our democracy and the image of the flag itself in the SBA will give them a wide evidence that Lewis adds.
Other Republicans have previously shared their support for the “appeal to heaven” flag. Speaker of the Chamber Mike Johnson He has shown the flag that is shown outside his office and the flag was flown controversial outside the associated justice of the Supreme Court Samuel Alito Holiday home in New Jersey. In an interview with the Associated pressJohnson said he did not know that the flag was associated with polling stations. In a Letter to the legislators Last year, Alito said the same. (Alito also subjected to fire by the flight of an American flag upside down in his house in Virginia. Flag upside down It is a sign of anguish that, in recent years, has been associated with protesters on the right).
