'Slap in the face': Furious Dems say NY county is refusing to lower flags for Jimmy Carter

The federal government is lowering flags to half-staff to honor the late former President Jimmy Carter, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the same for state government buildings there.

But Democrats say a MAGA county executive in the state is refusing requests to lower flags for Carter.

Carter died Sunday at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he was surrounded by family. He faced several health challenges in recent years, including melanoma that metastasized to his liver and brain.
