NY GOP Official Caves On Lowering Flags For Carter

January 6, 2025 Republicans, Trump cultists

A Republican official who oversees Nassau County on New York’s Long Island has done an about face after seemingly refusing to lower flags to half-staff in memory of the late Democratic President Jimmy Carter, who died last weekend at the age of 100.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, released a statement Sunday saying flags will be lowered at county-operated buildings while Carter lies in state from Tuesday through his burial on Thursday.

Blakeman has not publicly explained his reasons for not initially lowering the flags. President Joe Biden called for flags to be flown at half-staff for 30 days at all federal facilities.

As I mentioned here yesterday, Blakeman has appeared here in the past for his anti-LGBTQ and cultist actions.
