Confederate Flag Sparks Controversy at North Carolina Booth at Trump’s State Fair

At Trump's Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., the North Carolina pavilion pulled a video display that showed a Confederate flag alongside the North Carolina flag after scrutiny and sponsor pushback. Governor Josh Stein condemned the display as divisive, and Mt Olive Pickle Company pulled its participation. Organizers said the image did not reflect North Carolina and emphasized unity with America 250, while other sponsors remained attached, underscoring ongoing sensitivity to Confederate symbols at national events.
