The Yankees, Coca-Cola, AT&T and the union representing FDNY officers on Tuesday became the latest sponsors and supporters to pull out of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade over organizers’ decision to honor a militant linked to bombings in the city in the 1970s and ’80s.
The FDNY officers’ union and the FDNY Hispanic Society said they’d be boycotting the parade in protest of the “outrageous decision to honor a convicted felon in the very city where the attacks took place,” in reference to Oscar Lopez Rivera being named as the parade’s first National Freedom Hero.
Lopez Rivera, 74, served 35 years in prison for his role in the Armed Forces of National Liberation, or FALN. President Obama commuted his sentence shortly before he left office in January.

“Oscar Lopez Rivera’s actions led to the death and serious injury of innocent civilians and Police Officers,” said Uniformed Fire Officers Association president Jake Lemonda.

It's no secret, the liberals hate this country. They prove it everyday by honoring filth like this guy.
