A New York congresswoman has introduced a bill that would ban Black Lives Matter flags and other “political flags” from being flown at U.S. embassies around the world.

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) introduced the Stars and Stripes Act of 2021 after Black Lives Matter flags were seen, according to photos, being flown outside embassies.
