Read the article. Headline is misleading.

The event organizer misread a city ordinance and told them to take down all flags and signage.

Than they came back and said “oops.” It’s all ok.

None of it singled out the American flag.

Much ado about nothing.

That's not what the article says at all. They gave the city ordinance lie as an excuse after the fact. The vendor raised the flag back up on his own.

“No one from the city advised or asked anyone to take down flags of any type,” Mayor Dane Haygood told me. “”We proudly and boldly display American flags and we encourage everyone in the community to do the same.”

It turns out the order to remove the flags came from the tour director of the Kansas City Barbecue Society.

“As a measure of precaution, we asked everyone to take down any kind of signs or any kind of flags that were being displayed,” spokesman Mike McCloud told me. “It turned out that some of those happened to be American flags.”

Imagine that, people in America flying American flags. Who could have guessed?

No, it’s Mike McCloud who is misleading.
