DeSantis orders flags raised to full-staff on Jan. 20 for Inauguration Day, returned to half-staff on Jan. 21 to continue honoring former President Jimmy Carter

Press release from the Office of Governor Ron DeSantis
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Today Governor Ron DeSantis issued the following memo:
Inauguration day is an important tradition of our Republic where Americans come together to celebrate the peaceful transition of power between presidents. It represents a season of new hope and limitless potential for America’s future.
In light of the importance of this day, and on this patriotic occasion, I hereby order all flags to be raised to full-staff at the Florida Capitol and across all state buildings, installations, and grounds for the inauguration of the 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
On this unique occasion, where we simultaneously celebrate the service of an incoming president and commend the service of a former president, our nation’s flag will be prominently displayed at full-staff to honor the tradition of our founding fathers and the sacrifices made by those who have served to ensure the torch of liberty continues to burn strong.
The following day, on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, all flags at state buildings, installations, and grounds across the State of Florida will once again be lowered to half-staff to honor President Carter’s service per the ongoing Presidential Proclamation issued December 29, 2024.

“Inauguration day is an important tradition of our Republic where Americans come together to celebrate the peaceful transition of power between presidents. It represents a season of new hope and limitless potential for America’s future.” Where exactly was that in 2020?
Sad that some decide to make up the rules as they play the game.
US Code states the procedures for flying the United States Flag upon the death of a President. “The flag shall be flown at half-staff 30 days from the death of the President or a former President…”
This is part of the problem.
Procedures are for f@ggots.

Another part.

above for You Voted 1st post. Especially agree about the importance of 1/20 and peaceful transition.
I’m OK with raising flag that day but why is it an issue other than the tiny ego of the PE.
The theatrics are too much. Just a bunch of political circle jerking. Just leave the flag up and be done with it
Theatrics?
Another.
What a petty thing from a petty man.
Don’t forget to play Hail to the Chief too…
What an absolute tool.
