Wired reports:
A controversial “Appeal to Heaven” flag that has recently become associated with the “Stop the Steal” movement and Christian nationalism was flown above the Small Business Administration (SBA) agency last week in Washington, DC.
On June 11, Kelly Loeffler, the former senator from Georgia and current administrator of the SBA, participated in a ceremony where a new flag of the United States was raised over the agency’s headquarters. Just beneath that flag, on what appeared to be the same halyard, was an Appeal to Heaven flag.
Though the flag’s roots date to the Revolutionary War, in recent years it has become a popular symbol for the far right. The flag has also been linked to Christian nationalists, who believe that the US should be a Christian nation rather than a secular one.
