Woke VA officials ban on iconic WWII kiss photo sparks major outcry forcing agency to hastily reverse decision

Some woke Veterans Affairs officials banned the famed 1945 Times Square kissing photo from agency buildings last month — prompting their apparently fuming boss to publicly reverse the edict Tuesday.

“Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities — and we will keep it in VA facilities,” Veteran Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough wrote on X — an hour and a half after a copy of the memo that banned the supposedly politically incorrect Alfred Eisenstaedt photo surfaced.

The VA chief had not been made aware of the memo before it was issued and never approved it, sources familiar with the matter added to The Associated Press.
