President Trump made it clear, only one flag should fly at our embassies and that’s the American flag.
Well, since the Biden regime took over they have overturned several rules regarding flags/banners that are allowed to be displayed at US Embassies.
A recently leaked State Department memo that was sent out to all US Embassies revealed that diplomatic and consular posts were encouraged to display flags or banners to commemorate the one year anniversary of George Floyd’s death.
Many embassies took heed to the memo and proudly displayed flags, banners or made speeches in support of the BLM movement.
Take a look at some of the Embassies displays and posts for yourself:

The U.S. Mission in Turkey solemnly commemorates the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder. In his honor, we encourage you to take ten minutes today to read about his life, death, and how we can all learn to be anti-racists. #BLM

2/ A new generation of activists rose to meet this challenge, to give voice to those who live with injustice, & increase the awareness of others who do not. #BlackLivesMatter #BLMhttps://t.co/Si5qyWQpoI

Human Events broke the story and had this to report:
source within the Biden State Department wishing to remain anonymous has shared with Human Events News a document that indicates that all U.S. “Diplomatic and Consular posts” are being encouraged to display shows of support for Black Lives Matter on Tuesday, May 25, the one-year anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The memo reads in part, “The Department supports the use of the term ‘Black Lives Matter’ in messaging content, speeches, and other diplomatic engagements with foreign audiences to advance racial equity and access to justice on May 25 and beyond (italics added) We encourage posts to focus on the need to eliminate systemic racism and its continued impact.”
The memo, which is in part a woke statement on social justice, part an apology for U.S. actions, and part an endorsement of all BLM materials, expressly encourages the display of the BLM flag or banner at U.S. facilities (except on the actual flagpole that holds the American flag). It reads, in part:
This cable constitutes a blanket written authorization for calendar year 2021 from the Under Secretary for Management (M) to display the BLM flag on the external-facing flagpole to any Chiefs of Mission who determine such a display is appropriate in light of local conditions.
Despite the documented actions of BLM protestors during the riots of 2020, and despite the New York Times reporting on their organization’s declining popularity with American voters, our federal government has nonetheless decided to endorse and promote an organization with admitted Marxist roots as one having ties to our official foreign offices.

Unreal. BLM, founded by avowed Marxists, supporters of Hamas. What message is the US sending to the world? There should be no flag but the American flag flying from embassy flagpoles. https://t.co/Z6SNInIOJZ

Tucker Carlson stayed busy and covered the story too:
INSANITY. A State Department memo is reportedly encouraging US Embassies to support Black Lives Matter and fly BLM flags. They refused to clarify its position when asked by Tucker Carlson Tonight. pic.twitter.com/sWeyFaooZz

The Biden administration has also giving US Embassies the green light to fly “pride flags” in support of the LGBTQ month.
I wonder how weak we look in the eyes of China and Russia after this move.
