BREAKING NEWS – Matthews, North Carolina – A FedEx delivery driver was recorded picking up a fallen American flag and saluting it outside a home in North Carolina.
“America brought us the American Dream. We got a house here. It’s been amazing. The fact that he came and put our flag up is great,” Matthews, North Carolina, homeowner Karla Cruz – who immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico – told WJZY after watching the video of the FedEx driver hanging the flag outside her home.
The scene was caught on a Ring security camera and shows the driver looping back to the fallen flag after dropping off a package on Cruz’s porch. He then salutes the flag.
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saw the video and was outraged. “As far as I’m concerned, that Fedex driver did something outside of the scope of his job description and should be immediately fired,” she angrily began. “If anything, he should’ve stomped on it and set it on fire. But what’s worse, is why in the world does a Hispanic family have a U.S. flag in the front of their house? That’s deplorable! If anything, that woman should run for office like I did, get elected, and then regularly state her burning hatred for this nation and all it stands for!”
