Camping World Battles County Government Over Giant U.S. Flag

CEO Marcus Lemonis Orders Flag to Stay Flying Despite Government Opposition

Camping World RV Sales in San Joaquin County, California Refuses to Remove Patriotic Symbol

WEB Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World and star of CNBC's The Profit, has ordered the company's location in San Joaquin County, California, to keep flying a giant American flag despite opposition from the county government. The 30-foot-by-50-foot flag has been a fixture at the Camping World store for over a decade, but the county recently ordered the company to reduce the size of the flag or face fines.

Lemonis, a self-proclaimed patriot, refused to comply with the county's order, stating that the flag is a symbol of freedom and should not be censored. He has vowed to fight the county's decision in court if necessary.

The county government has argued that the flag is too large and is a safety hazard. However, Lemonis and his supporters maintain that the flag is not a hazard and that the county is simply trying to suppress patriotic expression.

The battle over the flag has drawn national attention and has sparked a debate about the limits of free speech and the role of government in regulating patriotism.
