CEO: I’ll Go To Jail Before I Take Down My Flag

Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis says he’ll pay the fine and even go to jail to keep the 40′ x 80′ American flag flying over a dealership in Statesville, NC.

City bureaucrats are attempting to force Lemonis to take down the flag under a city ordinance that limits flag size. Statesville authorities say they will fine Camping World $50 a day for every day the oversize flag flies.

Lemonis says he’ll pay the fine and even go to jail but he won’t take down the flag.

As a result of the controversy, the Statesville city council will have a vote in July to change the flag size ordinance
