BOSTON (WHDH) - A group of protesters set an American flag on fire outside of the White House on Independence Day.
The Revolution Club and the Revolution Tour had announced plans to burn a flag within sight of the government building in opposition of President Donald Trump and his “Salute to America” event.
Cellphone video captured the protesters lighting the flag on fire as a Secret Service officer ran over to quickly put out the flames with a fire extinguisher.
Several people were detained.
Officials have not announced what charges they could face.
