On Saturday, Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho Lopez spoke at a demonstration outside of City Hall against the Democratic National Convention coming to Chicago.
He spoke to the crowd about what he called its failures to address “the genocide in Gaza” and pursue immigration reform.
An image from the event shows Sigcho Lopez, with Palestinian flags flapping behind him, standing behind the ashen remains of an American flag that had been burned earlier in the event.
A spokesperson for Sigcho Lopez said he wasn’t present when the flag was burned, saying in part:
Alderman Sigcho Lopez was invited to make remarks rejecting the DNC in the city of Chicago.
