A satirical article about U.S. President Joe Biden switching the Stars and Stripes flag of the United States at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Washington D.C. with a Pride flag was shared online as if it were factual. Posts on social media shared a photograph in which the monument, representing the U.S. victory on the Japanese island of Iwo Jima during World War Two, bears a Pride flag instead of its usual American flag (here). However, the claim stems from a satirical website and the image circulating is digitally altered. Christopher Hershey, Chief of Staff at the George Washington Memorial Parkway, maintained by NPS and where the Marine Corps War Memorial is located, said in an email that the U.S. flag at the monument has not been replaced. This allegation stems from a satirical article by website Babylon Bee.
