The radical left's hatred for America was on full display Thursday when an unhinged LGBTQ activist tried to physically rip down the United States flag at the Stonewall National Monument in New York City, while an angry mob of protesters chanted "Burn the American flag!"

The shocking scene unfolded as city officials returned a Pride flag to the monument that had been properly removed earlier this week following President Trump's executive order restoring respect for our nation's flag. Instead of peaceful protest, these leftist extremists chose to attack the very symbol of the freedoms they claim to defend.

"The way the whole thing went down was pretty dramatic," one witness told reporters. "Gays have a sense of flair and drama." But this wasn't just theatrical flair—this was a direct assault on American patriotism by radicals who apparently believe their political agenda trumps respect for our flag.

Trump's Common-Sense Flag Policy Under Attack

The incident stems from President Trump's recent executive action ensuring that government buildings properly prioritize the American flag over political symbols. The Pride flag was removed from the Stonewall monument on Tuesday as part of this nationwide effort to restore dignity to federal properties.

Rather than accepting this reasonable policy with grace, the LGBTQ activist community responded with typical leftist rage—literally trying to destroy Old Glory while chanting violent rhetoric about burning our flag. The crowd also chanted "Take it down!" directed at the American flag that represents the very nation that protects their right to protest.

This is what we're dealing with, Patriots—a radical left so consumed with their political grievances that they'll attack the American flag itself rather than show basic respect for our country.

While President Trump works to restore American values and proper respect for our national symbols, the far-left continues to show their true colors. When you hate America this much, maybe it's time to ask yourself who the real extremists are.

How long will we tolerate anti-American radicals who think their political agenda justifies attacking the flag that countless heroes died defending?

Can someone explain to me why we're removing American flags from government buildings in the first place? I thought we were supposed to be putting America first, not virtue signaling with every trendy cause.

It's all part of the progressive agenda to diminish American values and replace them with divisive identity politics.

Why is NYC prioritizing identity politics over American patriotism? The American flag should ALWAYS fly highest and with respect.

The fact that this happened in NYC tells you everything you need to know about how far that city has fallen. Thank God for leaders like Trump who actually respect our flag and what it stands for.

I live in rural America where people still respect the flag. Every morning I put mine up and every evening I take it down properly. This kind of behavior would never be tolerated in my community.

This is exactly what I expected when Trump left office. These radical leftists have zero respect for our country or the symbols that represent the sacrifices made for our freedom.

Couldn't agree more. I served 20 years so people like this could have the right to disrespect the flag, but it still breaks my heart to see it.
