Texas Gov. Greg Abbott on Monday told an Australian woman complaining about "too many American flags" to go back to her country in response to a video of her posted to social media.

TikTok user Mia Chloe, who goes by the username @meanderwithmia, often posts about "Traveling the world on a budget & no brain cells," according to her account page. In a video posted several days ago, she called out the abundance of American flags she observed in her travels to the United States.

"I'm just going to say it. There are too many American flags. They're on houses. They're on cars. Some are on couch cushions," she said. "You're the only country that I know that does this."

Abbott, responding to the video of the rant on Twitter, wrote "Go back to Australia," along with eight American flag emojis. Chloe said she had only ever seen an Australian flag on the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge.

"Could not tell you what it looks like," she said. "I know it's blue and it's got some stars on it but I think I could draw the American flag from memory."

"I think I could make a bloody sculpture out of it," she added. "That's how many times I've seen it. It's enough. Let's pull back on it, OK. Let's stay humble."

In other videos, she is heard complaining about American supermarkets, which she called "a trap." She noted she went inside a Walmart and wound up shopping for four hours but only purchased three items.

In another, she apologized to anyone who lives in the Midwest, calling Kansas "unlivable" because of the weather.

"I'm currently in Kansas," she posted in an Aug. 4 video. "Even though it's blue skies right now. Give it an hour and it's going to be thunder storming, there's going to be lighting. You're going to get stuck in a f****** hail shower."

Fox News Digital has reached out to Chloe.

Well, Bye!

Thank you, Gov. Abbott! I wholeheartedly agree. I don't care if other countries have much showing of their national flags--I've traveled a lot and it's not anything I've particularly noticed. Display of our national Flag here in the US is a sign of patriotism, and I think it's a good thing. Our country has a lot to be proud of. If our national pride offends visitors, they can just go back home.

She's never been to Norway.

It is pretty sad she does not really know what her own country's flag looks like.

Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out…

Maybe they’ll be the next lucky country to be graced by her visit.

I watched her video. She, like, seems, like, stupid.

Oh, I see... she is one of those special people who visits a country and feels the overwhelming need to tell them that for whatever reason, they're doing it wrong.

Yes dear, you are so unique.

I wonder how she'd like it here, with the lifted pickup trucks flying flags from their tailgates flapping in the breeze, to say nothing of the occasional Confederate battle flag. Her head would explode.

As they say down under: She can get stuffed!

Why does she think we care what about her opinion? I may think they have too many kangaroos on things in Australia, but I won't fool myself into thinking my opinion matters in any way.

First reply to Gov Abbott's Tweet has me dying.

quote:

Hey can you deport the Mexicans instead of shipping them further into the country?

I linked my friend in Queensland to the article and her video and asked what he thought. I haven't heard back yet, but I wager when I do, his response would get caught in the language filters here. Of course, they use that word like ketchup, but not like Heinz, more like German curry ketchup or Sriracha. It's got spice to it when a real Aussie drops it.

Mind you, if you watch the video, it's clear that it's not what an Australian thinks, but what a Gen Z thinks.

Yeah, one of those red 'roos got the best of me with left jabs and a right uppercut.
Knocked me RTFO, stuffed me in her pouch to carry home to feed her troop.

Only escaped when she was distracted by a honey badger battling a cobra.

She's clearly never been to the UK, Norway, Spain, Mexico or, France in July. They're damn proud of their country, no different than the citizens of the US.

Surprised a state governor took time to respond to this idiot, there's no shortage of them, why start.

She might want to stay out of Brazil, especially during a football game....

While I like what he said, she got what she wanted, a response from someone who'll put her on the map, JMO no response from anyone in power would be best.

Zero hits, zero press, zero likes, without this response, nobody here would know about her...

Gen Zer's have some stupid political ideals, but they know how to troll for hits on their blogs...

Never heard of her, don't care about her fucked-up opinions about a foreign nation, nor her glaring lack of manners and courtesy.

Get the fuck out of my country, stay home and play with your kangaroos.
