Back in December, the Gateway Pundit first reported that Minnesota was changing its state flag, and thatthe new flag was strikingly similar to the national flag of Somalia.
Months later, the flag is still causing internal strife in the state.
A number of mayors in Minnesota are refusing to fly the new flag and it is causing friction with Governor Tim Walz.
FOX Newsreported this a few days ago:
Minnesota mayors drag ‘ridiculous’ bill penalizing cities for not flying new controversial flag
Minnesota mayors are rejecting their state lawmakers’ attempt to penalize cities for not flying the new state flag.
Members of Minnesota’s Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party pushed legislation Monday to reduce state aid to a county or city that “flies or otherwise makes use of a state flag other than the design of the state flag as certified in the report of the State Emblems Redesign Commission.”
Champlin Mayor Ryan Sabas, whose city voted in favor of flying the original flag in February, called this bill a “ridiculous” reaction to a growing opposition movement.
“It’s just an absolutely ridiculous bill that Democrats are signing on to because they’re scared that this has gained traction,” Sabas told Fox News Digital. “Not that it is, it has gained attraction. Every week there’s another city or two or three that are passing the same resolution, that are moving forward, not staying silent anymore.”
The controversy is not dying down. It’s growing.
