Camping World CEO and The Profit host Marcus Lemonis has refused to remove oversized American flags at several RV dealership locations nationwide despite zoning violations and fines.
Disputes have arisen in Greenville, NC; Statesville, NC; Sevierville, TN; and San Joaquin County, CA, where the company has flown massive American flags on 130-foot poles, exceeding local height and size limits.
In each case, officials have issued citations, but Lemonis insists the flags will remain, arguing they honor veterans and symbolize patriotism.
Some cities, like Statesville and San Joaquin County, eventually amended rules to allow the flags, while others, like Greenville and Sevierville, continue to push for compliance.
