A community market in central Pennsylvania has received complaints after a vendor sold President Donald Trump memorabilia, as well as the Confederate flag. According to the Mount Union Borough Council manager, she was shocked that most of the incoming complaints were in regard to a Trump flag, and not the Flag of the Confederate States of America.
“In this small town it’s normally nothing but love, but I couldn’t see why you would come after a vendor at a community market for any reason,” Patrick Walker, a resident of Mount Union, told the station, adding that the vendor was exercising his constitutional right of free speech. Sue Zinobile, Borough Manager, however, said that the complaint caught her off guard — simply because most of the complaints were directed at the President Trump flag instead of the Confederate flag.
Zinobile went on to say that while the sale of such flags is something that the Mount Union Council could not really restrict, it is something they would"definitely discourage."
