In a court filing, 'The Profit' star Marcus Lemonis says it's unconstitutional for a North Carolina city to ban a huge American flag flying at his recreational vehicle store because of its size.

Businessman and reality television star Marcus Lemonis says he’ll go to jail before he removes a huge American flag flying at a recreational vehicle store that his company owns and that’s the subject of a lawsuit because of its size.
Attorneys for Marcus Lemonis said in a filing in Iredell County that the U.S. and North Carolina constitutions protect the right to fly an American flag of any size — in this case, the one at Gander RV in Statesville — provided it’s not a safety hazard. Lemonis is the chief executive officer of Camping World, which owns Gander, and star of CNBC’s reality television show “The Profit.” HeOfficials from the city about 40 miles north of Charlotte sued the company in May over the flag, which measures 40 feet by 80 feet and hangs on a 130-foot-high flagpole next to Interstate 77. The code limits flags to 25 feet by 40 feet .
But Lemonis said he wants no restrictions on the size of U.S. flags that aren’t a safety hazard. Employees cheered when he visitedand told them: “The flag is not coming down under any circumstance.”
