UFC star Sean Strickland has become rather notorious for his far-right political and social leanings, and he has never been shy about posting some of his controversial stances on social media. Well, he was certainly at it again this week when he called out immigrants in the United States for continuing to proudly fly the flags of their home countries.
In a post on social media this week, Sean Strickland said that he was “sick of seeing” flags of foreign countries being flown in the United States from those who are proud of their heritage. He specifically singled out those born in America who fly a Mexican flag to pay homage to their ancestry.
“I’m so sick of seeing foreign flags in America.. I don’t get it. You left your corrupt country to come to the USA and yet you still rep what you fled? The worst is Hispanics born in America flying a Mexican flag.. Where is your loyalty.. Just go back.. Enjoy your foreign flag,” Strickland said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
Obviously, these controversial words led to a lot of reactions on social media.

Go back where? Hispanics born in America 🇺🇸 are American.

The United States was literally built by immigrants. The pride of this country comes from others' hard work. 8 people who signed the constitution weren't born here. white people forget they came on boats because of their corrupt country? 😅 but I get it, people just love to hate. https://t.co/LwHZUFFSYd

This is certainly not the first time Strickland has taken criticism for his views and it’s unlikely to be the last.
