Alexandria Diaz, who this week accepted a Medal of Sacrifice from President Donald Trump on behalf of her late father, who was killed in the line of duty in Palm Beach, Florida, spoke out on TikTok after she went viral after appearing visibly unenthusiastic while accepting the medal from the president.

In a TikTok video shared Tuesday, Trump appeared visibly confused, glancing repeatedly toward Diaz and awkwardly attempting to put his arm around her.

Diaz's father, Deputy Sheriff Ignacio "Dan" Diaz, of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, was killed in November 2024, along with two colleagues, when a driver hit them as they assisted with a disabled motorcycle on the roadside. Trump called the event "a terrible tragedy" that "shook the entire Palm Beach community like very, very few events I’ve ever seen."

But now that she's gone viral for her cold reaction to Trump, Diaz chose to set the record straight on where she stands, noting that she's neither a "cop" nor a "Republican" and declared her support for Palestine.

She said:

"So this is actually my worst nightmare, to go viral, become a meme or whatever. I literally just landed back home and I got a text that 'You're going viral.' I was like, 'God, no.'"
"To cover some points: I’m not a cop. Not a Republican. I was there, I received that medal because my dad died in the line of duty along with two other officers alongside him last year in Palm Beach, which was a huge news story. That's why Trump is so involved, because it was in Palm Beach [where Mar-a-Lago is located]."
"So yeah. Free Palestine."

You can hear her remarks in the video below.

Diaz was straight and to the point—and many applauded her words.


Bravo, Alexandria.
