Breaking News: LA Mayor Karen Bass Defies Pres!dential Order on Flags for Charlie Kirk

When America was grieving, when even the Pres!dent of the United States ordered our flags lowered in honor of Charlie Kirk after his brutal ass@ssination, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass made a different call: she refused.

Instead of allowing our city’s flags to rest at half-staff in solemn remembrance, Bass ordered every city facility to keep flags raised at full staff.

Her directive, confirmed in an internal LAFD notice, makes it clear: flags are not to be lowered “unless directed by the Mayor.”

And the Mayor has spoken… she will not allow Los Angeles to join the rest of the nation in mourning.

This isn’t just about protocol.

It’s about respect.

It’s about whether leaders can rise above politics to show basic decency when an American life is taken. Charlie Kirk wasn’t just a husband and father—he was a voice for millions of young Americans, a man who gave his life speaking boldly about faith, freedom, and love of country.

Lowering the flag is not an endorsement of politics.

It is an acknowledgment of sacrifice and tragedy.

By defying the Pres!dent’s order, Karen Bass has sent a message to the entire country: her ideology matters more than unity, more than grief, more than America itself.

The nation is watching.

Los Angeles should have been a city of solidarity today. Instead, it stands as an outlier of division, by choice of its Mayor.

In moments like this, Americans should ask: If leaders can’t lower a flag for a murdered citizen, what does that say about their leadership?

We will lower our own heads in prayer.

We will honor Charlie Kirk’s life in our homes, our communities, and in our hearts, even if City Hall refuses.

God bless Charlie’s family.

God bless all who mourn.

And God bless America.
