President Trump has called on Congress to “do something” about protesters who burn the American flag after demonstrators set Old Glory ablaze not far from the White House.

In a tweet on Tuesday night Trump said: “It is a shame that Congress doesn’t do something about the lowlifes that burn the American Flag. It should be stopped, and now!”

Protesters were seen torching an American flag during a demonstration in the nation’s capital, not far from the White House. The crowds started cheering the flag burned.
