The radical left's hatred for America was on full display Thursday when an LGBTQ activist attempted to tear down the United States flag at New York City's Stonewall National Monument, while a mob of anti-American extremists chanted "Take it down!" and "Burn the American flag!"

The shocking scene unfolded during an event where officials returned a Pride flag that had been properly removed on Tuesday following President Trump's executive order prioritizing American symbols on federal property. The monument commemorates a 1960s riot against police by gay activists.

Video footage captured the disturbing moment as the activist lunged for Old Glory while a crowd of leftist agitators cheered on the desecration attempt. The anti-American chants reveal the true face of the radical LGBTQ movement – one that apparently sees the Stars and Stripes as their enemy.

Trump's America First Agenda Under Attack

This latest assault on our national symbols comes just weeks into President Trump's second term, as his administration works to restore patriotic values and end the woke agenda that plagued federal institutions under the Biden regime.

The president's executive order removing divisive political flags from federal property was a common-sense move to unify Americans under one flag – the flag that represents liberty and justice for ALL Americans, not just preferred political groups.

"The way the whole thing went down was pretty dramatic... Gays have a sense of flair and drama," one observer noted about the theatrical tantrum.

But there's nothing dramatic or entertaining about attacking the American flag. This is the same flag that brave patriots have died defending – the flag that represents the freedoms these ungrateful activists take for granted every single day.

While law-abiding Americans respect our national symbols, the radical left continues to show they hate the very country that protects their right to protest. Their mask is off, and patriots are taking notes.

How much longer will we tolerate these anti-American extremists spitting on everything our founders fought to create?

The fact that a crowd was chanting to burn it makes this even worse. This isn't just one radical - this is organized anti-American sentiment.

Unreal! What monument was this at exactly?

Article says it was at a NYC monument but doesn't specify which one. Probably trying to protect the location from more incidents.

This is exactly why we need stronger laws protecting our national symbols. Flag burning should absolutely be illegal.

My grandfather fought in WWII and would be rolling in his grave seeing this.

Where are the arrests? If conservatives did anything remotely like this the media would be screaming and people would be in jail already.

This is absolutely disgusting. How can anyone who lives in this great country have such hatred for the symbol of our freedom?

It's heartbreaking to see this after everything our servicemen and women have sacrificed for that flag.

I was at a similar protest last year and saw the same type of disrespect. These radicals have no shame and no love for the country that gives them the freedom to protest in the first place.

The irony is completely lost on them. They use their First Amendment rights to attack the very system that protects those rights.
