Rep. Ilhan Omar, D., Minn., has accused the Trump administration of being "bigoted" amid reports that U.S. embassies have had requests to fly the rainbow Pride flag denied. "This is another blatant example of this administration’s bigotry and discrimination against the LGBTQIA+ community," Rep. Omar tweeted on Monday in response to the news. This month, President Trump tweeted about Pride Month and the need to "recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made." The Trump administration did not respond to Fox News' request for comment following reports that they denied permission to the embassies. "I'm aware that the State Department indicated that on the flagpole of our American embassies, one flag should fly, and that's the American flag.
