California Trump Supporter Rips Up Mexico Flag
The man ripped up the Mexico flag during a visit by President Donald Trump, but not everyone supported the move.

SAN DIEGO, CA -- A San Diego man was seen Tuesday ripping apart a Mexico flag during President Donald Trump's visit. The man, identified as De Le, is a staunch Trump supporter who has spoken out against illegal immigration.
KTLA reported Le grabbed the flag from a car that drove by. He then began ripping it apart as other Trump supporters yelled "USA."
Members of the crowd then urged Le, who immigrated to the U.S. from Vietnam, to burn the flag, however, a small group of people stopped him.

One woman is seen in a video grabbing the pieces of the flag from the ground. She later told KTLA she disagreed with Le's actions.
"I think it's wrong," the unidentified woman told KTLA. "There's no way they should've been burning it and ripping it like that. Teach respect by showing respect."

Le later wrote on Facebook, "Tearing up the Third World flag for all the world to see. How do you wave and love another flag while you are in America? I have nothing else except the Red/White/Blue at my place. The President is on point and so am I. Together, we will rebuild America."
The rally was one of many in San Diego and Los Angeles counties during Trump's first presidential visit to California. He came to inspect prototypes of the border wall that he told the public he would build across the U.S.-Mexico border if elected.
