BATON ROUGE - A "Make America Great Again" flag flew at the Governor's Mansion on Monday per Governor Jeff Landry's request.

Gov. Landry announced his plan days before President Donald Trump's inauguration. 

“Today, under President Trump, begins a renaissance in this Nation," Landry wrote. "One where America and her people will always come first. In Louisiana, we think that is worthy of celebrating!"

When Landry announced last week that he would fly the banner, the Louisiana Democratic Party said doing so would be an inappropriate use of state resources. It said flags with political message shouldn't be flown at state property.
