TL;DR

Mt Olive Pickle Company pulled out of the Great American State Fair in Washington, DC after North Carolina’s display included a video showing a Confederate flag; the company said it was unaware the flag would appear, while Spevco said the flag moment was brief and not produced by NC, and the video was later removed. The incident comes amid heat, lower attendance at the fair, and broader political tensions surrounding the 250th anniversary celebrations.
