EXCLUSIVE | Amid outrage over Pride flag removal at Stonewall Monument, federal worker threatens reporter for photographing American flag-raising effort

The fallout over the federal government’s removal of the Pride flag at the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village took a new twist Wednesday when a National Park Service worker threatened a reporter who photographed their attempt to raise an American flag on the site.

amNewYork visited the Stonewall monument at 11 a.m. on Feb. 11, just in time to see the worker — who wore a green jacket with a National Park Service emblem on the sleeve — walk over to the flag pole where the rainbow colors had flown above the monument just days earlier. The Trump administration had ordered the Pride flag removed from the Stonewall site.
