Council member Isabel Mata took issue with 27 different American flags flying in a park to represent various iterations of the flag throughout American history.

"To me, a pride flag is way more relatable than an American flag. I would not raise an American flag at my house because I wouldn't...I wasn't even born here," she said. "But I would raise a pride flag. And as the most diverse city in all of Snohomish County, I don't think that I'm the only one who...who would maybe choose to have 27 other flags in Flag Park."

The Lynnwood Times wrote a scathing editorial condemning the council member's comments.

"Lynnwood residents—many of whom have family who served under the American flag, many of whom are proud naturalized citizens who do relate to what Old Glory stands for—deserve elected leaders who respect the symbols of the country that gives them the privilege to serve," publisher Mario Lotmore wrote. "Councilwoman Mata's remarks suggest she does not."

"We at the Lynnwood Times stand unequivocally with the American flag, the men and women who died for it, and the principles it represents—especially as we approach Memorial Day and our nation's 250th birthday," he added.

Well said, Mr. Lotmore. Well said, sir.

And if Council Member Mata finds Old Glory so offensive she is more than welcome to pack her bags and go back to where she came from. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
