A new video has emerged featuring Chris Kluwe, a former NFL punter who made headlines during a Huntington Beach City Council meeting. The debate centered on a proposed plaque that includes references to the slogan “Make America Great Again,” a phrase famously associated with former President Trump.
Kluwe, who is a local resident, passionately expressed his objections. “While everyone supports honoring the library with a plaque, most are firmly against incorporating a MAGA acrostic,” he stated. “This council, unfortunately, seems deaf to our concerns. MAGA is a symbol of corruption, a threat to democracy, and let’s be clear, it’s aligned with Nazi ideology. Swapping a swastika for a red hat doesn’t change that reality. So today, I’ve chosen to engage in the time-honored American tradition of peaceful protest.” His words were met with enthusiastic support from some attendees, creating a lively atmosphere leading to a brief recess called by the council.
