College students and others burned an American flag on American University’s campus in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday afternoon in a move to denounce Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election a day earlier.
“Hey hey! Ho ho! White supremacy’s got to go!” more than a hundred people chanted around the flag-burning demonstration, according to NBC-4.

One man set the flag on fire, while others watching screamed and clapped.
Flag burning is not illegal in the U.S. The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that the burning of the flag is protected by the First Amendment, but the person who starts the fire can be found guilty of a misdemeanor for starting a fire without a permit.
