Defiant RV Retailer Refuses to Bow to California Officials—Find Out Why This Giant American Flag Won’t Come Down!
In a bold stand against California’s ever-encroaching government overreach, Camping World has refused to bow to the state’s demands to take down its giant American flag. This isn’t just about a flag; it’s about the principles that make America great—freedom, courage, and the unwavering belief in our nation’s values.
Camping World RV Sales, located in French Camp, California, dared to fly the symbol of our great nation high above its dealership, but local officials, driven by their typical bureaucratic red tape, ordered the flag to come down. Their supposed concern? The flagpole’s foundation and proximity to nearby property lines and Interstate 5. Yet, it’s clear that this isn’t just about safety; it’s about control.
But Marcus Lemonis, the CEO of Camping World, isn’t one to back down when it comes to honoring America. He made it clear that this flag, which represents unity and freedom, is going nowhere. Lemonis, an immigrant who deeply values the blessings of American citizenship, understands what this flag truly stands for—something these California officials seem to have forgotten.
Lemonis stated that Camping World’s flagpole is securely rooted, dismissing the county’s unfounded concerns. He pointed out that there are “hundreds” of Camping World locations across the nation, all flying giant American flags without issue. This isn’t just a flag—it’s a symbol of respect for our country and the veterans who’ve fought to protect it.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t the first time Lemonis has had to fight to keep Old Glory flying. Back in 2019, in Statesville, North Carolina, government officials tried to bully Camping World into taking down another large flag. Lemonis stood his ground then, and he’s standing his ground now, proving that when it comes to defending American values, he won’t be intimidated by government overreach.
The battle isn’t just about a flag; it’s about resisting the leftist push to undermine the symbols of American pride. We need more people like Marcus Lemonis who aren’t afraid to stand up for what’s right, especially in the face of unjust government demands.
While Camping World has applied for the necessary permits, let’s not forget that this is about much more than paperwork. This is about the First Amendment, the right to express our patriotism, and the refusal to let government officials dictate how we honor our country. As Lemonis made clear, the flag isn’t coming down—no matter what these California officials say.
The American flag is a symbol of unity, and Camping World’s decision to keep it flying is a reminder that we must stay united against the constant encroachments on our freedoms. It’s a stand we should all be proud of.
This fight isn’t over. It’s a call to action for all who value freedom to stand up and ensure that our nation’s symbols are respected and preserved, no matter what obstacles the government tries to throw in our way.
