The Camping World store in San Martin, California, is defying orders from the bunch of anti-American leftists running San Joaquin County that he remove his giant U.S. flag.
Like at his other 249 locations, Camping World owner Marcus Lemonis has erected a massive 130-foot flag pole with a huge American flag on it. And he is not sorry.
In April, the officials of the county government demanded that he take it all down because they say the pole exceeds county rules for the height of a flag pole. That, and Lemonis never went to the county with his hat in hand to ask permission to install the pole and flag. Officials say it is “dangerous” to the homes and businesses nearby, so because of all that, they want it removed.
Lemonis lowered the flag for time while negotiating with the county. But now he is done jaw-boning with them.
He has now returned the flag to the pole where it belongs despite the county’s demands.
“If we felt like we were putting people in danger or causing any issues with air traffic, which would absolutely not be OK, then I wouldn’t do it,” told Fox News.
As we remember our heroes today, we're committed to raising our flag high to honor them daily. Happy Memorial Day 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/zsDW0Lidxv

Regardless, he is defiant.
“It’s symbolism about how we feel about this country. We have a lot of veterans who work for us, and a lot of veterans who shop with us,” Lemonis told Fox40. “I happen to be an immigrant. I was given the blessing of being able to enter this country and become a citizen, and I’m grateful for it. It’s been part of my life since I was a little child down in Miami, Florida, where we had the largest flag pole in Miami at our car dealership.”
Good for him!
