Yesterday, on July 4th, the Revolutionary Communist Party and other communist groups, including the Revolution Club, burned several flags in front of the White House. One of the flags was thrown on a Secret Service officer.
Longtime communist activist Gregory Lee “Joey” Johnson set one flag on fire and tossed it on the ground, appearing afraid of the flames.
A veteran, rushed over to retrieve the flag and stop it from burning. The communists then chanted, “America was never great.”
