Trump officials blast electeds’ plan to re-raise Rainbow Flag: ‘Trying to distract from their recent failures’

The Trump administration on Feb. 11 accused New York City elected officials of “trying to distract from their recent failures” in response to their plans to re-raise the Rainbow Flag at the Stonewall National Monument.

The US Department of the Interior’s criticism — which targeted Mayor Zohran Mamdani and other electeds — came in response to a question from Gay City News about the federal government’s response to a plan by elected officials to raise the Rainbow Flag once again at the Stonewall National Monument on Feb. 12 at 4 p.m.
