There appears to be a symbolic battle brewing between House Republicans and the Biden Administration.
The controversy arose when Republicans criticized the White House for displaying the Pride flag alongside the US flag on the Truman Balcony, arguing that it was presented more prominently and at the same level as the American flag.According to the flag code, the American flag "should be at the center and at the highest point" when displayed among other banners, and additional flags should never be placed to the right of the American flag.
The White House defended its decision to fly the rainbow banner, while Democrats criticized the GOP for focusing on symbolism rather than addressing substantive issues.
