Veterans like Mark Quiroz, who served in the Navy for 20 years, want candidate Joe Bray-Ali to apologize for comments made in a blog post in 2006.
“He stated that it’s okay to burn the flag, to rub it in poo and that everybody has that right.”
On McIntyre in the Morning, Bray-Ali said his comments were taken out of context.
“The full quote is ‘let them do these horrible things to the flag because in the U.S., the flag is not the state, the people are the state. Their minds and knowledge are the organs that keep our Republic alive’.”
The group of veterans want him to drop out of the race against City Councilman Gil Cedillo.
