YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A Washington State mayor scolded an LQBTQ+ activist who was outraged that the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action flag was allowed to fly over city hall, but the Pride Flag was not. Newcastle Mayor Robert Clark was berated by activists at a public hearing Tuesday night as citizens of the city — located about 12 miles from Seattle — were upset over the council’s decision last year to stop the Pride flag from being flown at City Hall during Pride Month. Toward the end of the three-hour-long session, an activist stood in front of the council and called Clark “disgusting” and claimed he and some of the elected city officials were trying to “trick” people out of believing the Pride flag can’t be flown by flying the POW/MIA flag. “It’s not common that I respond to public comment, but I will not sit here and have somebody tell me that veterans are a political stunt. How dare you,” the mayor declared.
