California congressional candidate Mai Vang claps back after outrageous anti-American protest

A California congressional candidate, Sacramento City Councilwoman Mai Vang, refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and often turns her back on the American flag. She accuses incumbent Rep. Doris Matsui of boosting a MAGA Republican to improve Matsui’s chances in the general election. Vang’s campaign links the controversy to Matsui’s actions, citing a blog entry that contrasts Matsui with GOP challenger Zachariah Wooden and describes Wooden as serving the community while advancing Trump’s policies. Matsui’s campaign says the post was intended to highlight “extreme Republican ideas.” Vang argues the tactics are deceptive, undermine trust, and distract from issues affecting everyday people.

"Days before the upcoming primary, Matsui loaned herself $1.4 million and steered her aligned super PACs to bankroll and boost a MAGA Republican by any means necessary,"

"Vang's camp says it's a move to elevate Wooden and bump the councilwoman out of the primary so Matsui has a better chance of claiming victory in November."

"Vang, who has been called the " AOC of the Central Valley," has received intense criticism for regularly turning her back on the American flag during council meetings and other events."

"It's 'Patriotism 101,' you say the Pledge of Allegiance even if you don't agree with everything,"
