The current crop of Democrat candidates are not merely awful but astonishingly awful. Appalling examples abound. Brad Lander. Graham Platner. Maureen Galindo. Shelby Campbell. Raymond Chandler. Now belligerently anti-American California congressional candidate Mai Vang.

Via Patriot TV:

Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang has repeatedly refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during public meetings and has been captured on video turning her back on the American flag. …

Videos from city council meetings in 2025 and 2026 show Vang consistently averting her gaze from the flag while others participate. She even boasted about the practice on social media, framing the moment of national unity as an opportunity to “center our communities” and reflect on alleged injustices committed “under this nation’s influence,” complete with hashtags supporting causes far removed from her constituents’ daily concerns.

Immigration used to be limited, and newcomers were expected to pull their own weight. Now, the radical left exploits unrestricted mass immigration as a political weapon. Consequently, in place of the patriotic gratitude of the past, we often get a finger poked in our eye by enemies like Vang, whose intention is not to assimilate but to destroy.

The irony deepens when considering Vang’s background as the daughter of Hmong refugees who escaped persecution with American military support.

Unsurprisingly, Vang is anti-police and pro-terrorist:

She has opposed city budgets over police funding disputes and championed policies that prioritize ideology over public safety. She is vehemently anti-Israel and a vocal “Free Palestine” activist.

The base ought to love her.

When Democrats bark about unity, they mean universal submission to leftist rule. They do not mean shared love of America and its heritage.
