A group of Minnesota leftists sparked anger and mockery over their staged reenactment of the raising of the U.S. flag on Iwo Jima, one of the most iconic photos in the nation’s history.
The Battle of Iwo Jima was a pivotal World War II confrontation between American troops and the entrenched Imperial Japanese forces that took place on the small, strategically located island in the Pacific Ocean, one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war.
Only this time, instead of six U.S. Marines hoisting Old Glory atop the carnage on Mount Suribachi, it was a handful of spiteful mutant losers spitting on the memory of those brave heroes who sacrificed their lives so that they would be free to defile their memory, and using the state’s new Somali-inspired flag to boot.
Liberals in Minnesota are now cosplaying the Iwo Jima flag raising — but with a Minnesota flag.
These people are ridiculous. pic.twitter.com/KIM4LNJgqH

The stunt was as insulting as it was pathetic and appears to be the idea of Anton Treuer, a professor of Ojibwe at Bemidji State University, another of the left-wing lunatics poisoning the minds of the young on the nation’s campuses.
X users reacted to the obscene re-enactment with rage and ridicule.
Anti-ICE activists recreated the Iwo Jima flag raising with a Minnesota flag. That pose honors men who died in battle, not political tantrums. When you mock sacrifice to score points, you reveal exactly how little you respect this country and those who defended it. pic.twitter.com/ry9dggx6GE

These neutered betas tried to recreate raising the flag on Iwo Jima with the Somali/Minnesota flag
Not one of these people would have survived 7 seconds in that battle… but yet here they are. https://t.co/1W62yY58xF

🚨 LMFAO! Leftist activists in Minnesota decided to “recreate” the iconic Iwo Jima image using the Somali-inspired state flag
This is beyond pathetic.
Leftists are just a bunch of failed theater kids 🤣 https://t.co/dMNMlorNEv

If this stunt in Minnesota was really about “unity,” these retards wouldn’t need to hijack Iwo Jima’s American heroism to push their Somali-inspired flag. Pathetic virtue signaling at its finest. pic.twitter.com/k3l6ObuUYt

The Left hates America.
They mock our soldiers.
They mock our Flag.They use a foreign nation’s flag to mock America.
They will always side against America and with a foreign country.
Every single time. pic.twitter.com/TBWzlArEyC

Libs are so mental 😂
Look at them out here raising the Minnesota flag like US troops in Iwo Jima after WWII. These are not serious people. They’re theater kids living in a fantasy world https://t.co/CjCiSUf0bY

The longtime flag in the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” was officially retired in May 2024 and replaced with the new one that bears an astonishing resemblance to that of Somalia, with refugees from the East African hellhole first being imported to the state, where they have refused to assimilate while becoming a powerful voting bloc absolutely loyal to the Democratic Party.
In 2024, Tim Walz adopted a new Minnesota state flag.
The flag resembles the national flag of Somalia.
First Walz changed the state’s identity to appease Somalis, then he allowed Somalis to steal $1 billion from taxpayers. pic.twitter.com/WI7KbmcvKp

Minnesota has become the Democrats’ bastion of resistance against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its ability to enforce the nation’s immigration laws.
It is also, in the words of President Donald J. Trump, a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity” where members of the Somali community in Minneapolis have swindled taxpayers out of billions of dollars through charities and fake businesses, including purported daycare centers.
The hijacking of the iconic Iwo Jima picture once again shows that nothing is sacred to the anti-American left.
