67% Of GOP: Flag Burners Should Lose Citizenship

From a poll released today by YouGov:

Shortly after his election in 2016, President Donald Trump suggested that people who burn the American flag should lose their citizenship or spend a year in jail.

More than one-third of adults agree: 36% would support stripping US citizenship from Americans that burn or desecrate the flag.

Roughly two-thirds (67%) of Republicans support this idea, while just 29% of independents and about a quarter of Democrats feel the same. A majority of both Democrats and independents are opposed to revoking US citizenship for flag-burners.

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag – if they do, there must be consequences – perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!
