BREAKING: Josh Stein Rips Trump's Fair Over Confederate Flag Stunt

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein is calling out Trump's Great American State Fair after the North Carolina pavilion was caught displaying the state flag altered with the Confederate "Southern Cross."

Stein's office did not hold back, saying the display does not reflect the North Carolina that people love and accusing organizers of glorifying a divisive symbol while pretending the fair is about unity.

His office demanded the organizers stop dishonoring the flag of North Carolina, full stop.

Historians backed him up immediately, confirming that North Carolina's flag has never once incorporated the Confederate battle flag in its 165 year history, which means the distortion was no accident.

The pressure worked fast. One of the booth's own corporate sponsors, Mt. Olive Pickle Company, pulled its support entirely once it saw what Stein was calling out.

North Carolina had already skipped sending an official delegation to Trump's fair in the first place, and this is exactly why.
