In May Lemonis insisted that he would not be removing the flag a 40-foot by 80-foot banner despite a lawsuit from Statesville North Carolina and accumulating fines in connection with flying the flag. The city has insisted that a flag within 100 feet of a highway cannot be larger than 25 by 40 feet. For every day that Lemonis doesnt remove the flag he is assessed a $50 fine. Instead Lemonis launched a petition to keep the flag flying. A portion of the petition read This is about more than just the flag. This is about our Veterans Military and the men and women that have sacrificed for this great country. They are the reason why we fly the flag and they are the reason we will NOT take it down! Whats he saying now? During a Monday interview with Fox News Martha MacCallum Lemonis insisted that he would not be pulling down the flag anytime soon. The ordinance doesnt matter to me he told MacCallum. If you look at the North Carolina statute it says as long as its not impairing someones health and well-being its not a big deal. Lemonis also revealed that local lawmakers told him that the flag could be dangerous because of its size and its close proximity to the interstate. They made the claim it could cause an accident on the freeway because it was too distracting it was too beautiful he added. Lemonis still isnt concerned over his violation or the accumulating fees.
