The owner of a pizzeria in New Paltz, New York, said protesters vandalized the American flag mural painted on the side of her building because they believed it represented “a political position.”

Maria Lisante, who owns La Bella Pizza Bistro, said on “The Ingraham Angle” on Friday that the protesters were “opposed” to the flag and thus defaced the mural.

“They didn’t want a flag. They thought that it meant a political position and they were opposed,” Lisante said.

The initial proposal for the mural came under fire late last month, but a handful of protesters gathered at an “appreciation walk” for the painting.

New York state corrections officer and Army National Guard veteran Joey Garcia organized the appreciation walk and said Friday that the event was peaceful. – READ MORE
