Mt. Olive Pickles withdraws from Great American State Fair over Confederate flag display

Mt. Olive Pickles withdrew from the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., after a Confederate flag was displayed at North Carolina’s booth, which was organized by private sponsors. The company stated it was unaware of the flag when agreeing to participate, emphasizing its commitment to values like human dignity and unity. Governor Josh Stein criticized the flag, calling it inconsistent with North Carolina’s values, and the flag was later removed.
