OVER 190 flags have been taken down from a historic building as government officials warn employees to remember who they work for.
The move sparked backlash in the diplomatic community.

The State Department’s main atrium in Washington DC has lost all of its international flags.
The hall previously held 190 flags of countries the US has diplomatic relations with.
Ahead of the celebration for America’s 250th anniversary, the flags were swapped out for all American flags.
“It’s a good reminder of who we work for — the American people!” Christopher Landau, the deputy secretary of state, wrote on X when the flags were unveiled in June.

FIRE HIS ASS RIGHT NOW!
The unAmerican piece of sh!t needs to go ASAP!
It has been about 90 years since the State Dept (Department of State) has worked for the American people...
The Bolshevik invasion began in the early 1930s...
When I was born (1933), it was one of the first things I became aware of...
Ronald Reagan told the story of escorting a visitor around the State Department. When he came upon a foreign service officer at his desk, Reagan asked him, “and what country are you working for? The flustered young man replied “China!” Reagan simply said “no, you work for the United States.”
YAY!!!
the State Department has been filled with traitors all the way back to Alger Hiss ...
Shows that Trump’s people get it.
State has been working for all the other countries for decades.
They’re xenophilic and Ameriphobic.
Time they get on our side…or leave
As it should be...
such a hostile work environment to see symbols of the country you work for, and be reminded you work for the US, not another country you may communicate with while doing the business of our country. Apparently some working there were not aware of these key elements of their job?
Aaron is an absolute idiot and tool. Is there any way to deport this pathetic cretin?
Many of the state department have been compromised for some de. Pathetic traitors!
“This is the United States Department of State — not the World Department of State.”
