Camping World CEO, Marcus Lemonis, joins “Fox & Friends” to talk about the company’s legal battle for its massive American flags. Greenville, North Carolina claims that the problem is not about removing the flag, but to fulfill the city code.
A struggle is based on the flight of mass American flags across the country, specifically outside the locations of the camp world. The CEO of the company said they will not go back.
“This flag does not go down. This is the third city in recent years that sought to demolish the flag. The threatening prison, a wide variety of fines,” said Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, in “Fox & Friends,“Wednesday.
The national distributor of vehicles with more than 200 locations faces multiple demands from municipalities throughout the country due to the size of the North -Americans flying in stores.
City leaders at Greenville, North Carolina, Voted last week to take legal action against the flag at his local dealership in the local camp, after a lawsuit from Sevieville, Tennessee Early this week.
“We have had these flags for 20 years, so I am amazed at states like North Carolina and Tennessee that I am trying with this,” said Lemonis.

Greenville states that the flag is almost the size of a basketball court, which covers 3200 square feet. The pole of which flies about 130 feet high, almost double the current amount.
Seville officials, Tennessee, argue that they are raised with the height of the pole, not the size of the flag.
“Let’s be clear: the city of Sevieville is not, and it will never be, against patriotism,” they wrote.
“Excessively high structures can create visual distractions for motorists, represent possible safety dangers and affect picturesque views that are a vital part of Severville a destination for residents and visitors.”

Greenville’s head of communications, Brock Letchworth, issued this statement on his legal action:
“It has never been to eliminate a north -American flag or the type of flag. It is about putting the flag in compliance with the city code. We hope to find a resolution that results in the continuous visualization of the flag, but so that it does not violate local laws.”
But Lemonis says he will not consider the subject and that the flags are his love letter to the United States, which allowed him to prosper there after he had to leave Beirut, Lebanon.
“ I was not born in this country. I emigrated from Beirut, Lebanon. I came here to Miami, Florida and I had the opportunity to live the American dream in this country. I have put a lot of sweat and tears to build this business for my people, for the country. And it is my love letter to tell everyone that I am grateful that I am this country, it provided me with a capitalist, to be a capitalist, to be a capitalist.

Lemonis says he plans to put more flags and, when it reaches a million feet, will feel that he is ready to stop adding more.
“From my perspective, the flag is not a problem … it has an authorization of the FAA and, for me, this is like an opportunity for the city to say that we want to control what is happening there.”
