A Republican county official on Long Island who had refused to lower flags to half-staff following the death of former President Jimmy Carter has changed his mind.

With the death of President Jimmy Carter at age 100, President Joe Biden has ordered flags to fly at half-mast.

Democrats on New York’s Long Island cried foul over the weekend after a Donald Trump-supporting county executive did not lower his jurisdiction’s flags to half-staff in honor of the late President Jimmy Carter,

Flags will remain at half-mast and half-staff most of the month for Jimmy Carter's death. Jan. 9 will be a national day of mourning for his funeral.

County Executive Bruce Blakeman seemingly refused to comply with the federal mandate, but on Sunday he released a statement saying flags will be lowered at county-operated buildings while Carter lies in state.

The White House ordered that flags at all federal buildings and grounds and at U.S. embassies around the world be flown at half-mast through Jan. 28 in honor of former President Jimmy Carter
