OUTRAGEOUS: Sacramento Councilwoman and Congressional Candidate Mai Vang Turns Her Back on the American Flag, Rejects Pledge of Allegiance in Disgraceful Anti-American Display
The Gateway Pundit ^ | May 25, 2026 | Jim Hᴏft

Sacramento City Councilwoman Mai Vang, a far-left Democrat now seeking a seat in Congress, is under fire after renewed attention to her repeated refusal to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and instances in which she reportedly turned her back on the American flag during public meetings.

Vang is currently serving on the Sacramento City Council while mounting a challenge for California’s 7th Congressional District seat.

For millions of Americans, the Pledge of Allegiance is a simple expression of gratitude and patriotism, a moment to honor the republic, the Constitution, and the generations of Americans who fought and died defending freedom.

Apparently, for Mai Vang, it’s something else entirely.

Vang, the daughter of Hmong refugees from Laos who came to America seeking freedom and opportunity, has chosen to spit in the face of the very flag that protected her family and the nation that gave her a platform, public office, and now a shot at Congress. Instead of gratitude, she offers grievance theater. Instead of unity, she pushes division.The

The New York Post reported:

The lefty Sacramento city councilmember has boasted about refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance at public meetings and ceremonies — and routinely turned her back on the flag.

Vang, who is attempting to unseat longtime Democratic Rep. Doris Matsui in the June primary election, is currently polling neck-and-neck with the incumbent and slightly ahead of Republican Zachariah Wooden.

Vang, the daughter of Hmong refugees, has had several notable incidents in which she refused to take part in the Pledge — from a Veterans Day ceremony last year to district meetings on Jan. 22 and March 26, as well as a Sacramento City Council meeting on July 1, 2025.

she can go back to the jungle, then, and an orangutan can help her wash her clothes in the filthy river. ( they can actually do that!)

Probably born here & we’re stuck with her. But it would be nice to strip such people of citizenship & boot them out.

Don’t Congressmen have to take an oath that states they have a loyalty to this country? If so, how would she ever get seated? Her documented actions would show anything she said in that regard was a lie.

It’s not what happened in 2018 when during the FIFA World Cup time we had to say “Usama!” during the national anthem on July 4 as Mexico was still in the Russia-hosted tournament that the Yanks did not qualify. “Usama!” is a Mexican chant aimed at Americans especially after Mexico eliminates Sam’s Army, and is used to illustrate tort reform.

What we have here is a woman in Northern California doing a Kaepernick after being taught the stupidity of the Left, not explaining tort reform in a nutshell.

Mai Vang

More proof that:
The only good communist is a dead communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help, with prejudice, everyone be as good as possible...

If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...

The problem is not her or those like her. There will always be those among us who hate our country.

The real problem is the number of people who will elect these individuals to political office.

The white boys probably paid no attention to her in middle school and high school. Left radical politics is emotional therapy for many women like her.

This beyotch Vang is just the symptom of the problem.

The PROBLEM is the lowlife Sacramento collective that voted her into office. THAT’s the dynamic we need to understand and eradicate to rid ourselves of the Vangs in the nation.

The only thing unusual about this is her openness about it. This is typical of the Democrat Party, its members, and its supporters.

That's because she's fat.
