Full title: Zoning Official Urges Owners Take Down Trump Flags at Ocean City, MD, Marina That Were Praised By Pres. Trump; Will Boycott Restaurants With View of Flags
Weeks after President Donald Trump tweeted a photo of boats at an Ocean City, Maryland, marina flying Trump flags, a member of the Ocean City Planning and Zoning Commission is calling on boat owners to take down the Trump flags, which are being flown on a large number of boats. The commissioner also announced he is boycotting restaurants and marinas with views of the Trump flag while noting the First Amendment rights of the boat owners to fly the flags. But the politically and socially influential zoning commissioner is clearly throwing his weight around with his public pronouncement targeting the boat owners, marinas and innocent restaurants.

"It is sad and sickening to see the politicization of Ocean City marinas — and maybe soon, the sky above them — with the proliferation of Trump flags (and banners?). America — with all of its faults — was and is already great.
We understand free speech and fully support the individual owners’ right to display their support for Trump on their expensive yachts.
However, we are not quite sure it serves the intent they may be thinking. As individuals who are not Trump fans, the display of flags is as uncomfortable and revolting as a Confederate flag is to others (not us).
When visiting the beautiful marinas and restaurants surrounding these rich folks’ yachts, it becomes difficult to digest our food. Having spoken to others, we realize many others feel the same way…
They say “urges” when they mean “orders”.
The funniest part is the zoning commissioner is used to reveling in his power of control upon the citizenry.
In the case of boats at a Marina he is impotent.
Shouldn’t the restaurant owners want this guy’s hide for boycotting them because of what you can see from their restaurants?
I say the banners just got ten feet longer.
It is sad and sickening to see the politicization of Ocean City . . . .so says an obviously politicized “zoning official”
Hey bud . . . why don’t you JSTFU
And GROW UP
Seems this fellow is well taken with himself.
“They didn’t figure we had a navy”.
Liberals can not sell their agenda, so all they have left is boycotts, riots, and attacks on people wearing MAGA hats.
There’s so many places where you can’t have a Trump sticker without your car getting keyed that people are glad to be able to rally with a bunch of like-minded people.
This guy is a deceptive jerk. “We understand free speech”.... indeed.
Tell him to GFY!
“”””When visiting the beautiful marinas and restaurants surrounding these rich folks’ yachts, it becomes difficult to digest our food. “”””””””””
He sounds like a fag, Jim.
This commissioner needs to resign.
We are making our lists.
And checking them twice.
L
LOL!
Remember, Private Citizens flying a Flag with the name of the person they supported for POTUS is Politicization. Got it.
Caveat: Unless it’s a Democrat POTUS. Then it’s Free Speech.
Just another intolerant bully of the Left ... the Left who is so proud of their uncompromised hatred of people who are intolerant bullies. Confusing? — Hey! This is an example of how the Left “reasons”.
Find a different Marina to park your boat in. Vote him out with your wallet.
Some of these loudmouths are too big for their britches. Let the loudmouths go broke. They aren’t pleasant people to be around anyway.
Snowflake. (I can’t believe anyone would allow themself to be bullied by this guy)
A public official ordering a boycott - in effect censorship - is blatantly unconstitutional as this is a GOVERNMENT official ordering them down in an official capacity.
He should be fired immediately or subject to punitive lawsuits.
