() In multiple cities, a fight is brewing over the American flag, specifically about how big it should be.

Large American flags fly at all Camping World RV locations.

But their sheer size has come under fire in some cities, such as Greenville, North Carolina.

Some city council members are objecting to it, saying that at 3,200 feet, the flag is nearly the size of a football field and well beyond city regulations. However, some residents want it to stay.

“What the town is doing here, making this an issue, is idiotic,” one resident said. “Why would you do this?”

Camping World CEO Marcus Lemonis, who came to the United States from an orphanage in Beirut, Lebanon, at 9 months old, wrote on X that the flag is his “love letter to a country that gave me a chance when I didn’t have one.”

Last week, the Greenville City Council debated taking legal action to remove the flag. There were some dissenting voices on it, with City Council Member Les Robinson saying it would be a “PR nightmare” for Greenville.

“I support 100% the U.S. flag and I will never be a party to a lawsuit that wants to take it down,” Robinson said.

The Greenville City Council ultimately voted 4-2 to begin legal proceedings. Greenville Mayor PJ Connelly was not allowed to vote, according to local news outlet WCTI, but also said he’s “totally against” legal action.

“I think there’s other things that we could be spending our time and taxpayer funds on,” Connelly said.

Lemonis says the flag isn’t coming down and that he will see Greenville in court.

Other cities, such as Sevierville, Tennessee, have also challenged Camping World’s flag.
