Even a 100-year-old pickle company could no longer support President Donald Trump's Great American State Fair after it was rocked by fresh controversy. Mt. Olive Pickles, a North Carolina institution founded in 1926, pulled out of the sparsely attended Washington, D.C. fair celebrating America's 250th birthday after a Confederate flag was displayed in their state's pavilion. The company said in a statement on X that it participated in the event after receiving an invitation. The North Carolina government did not participate in the fair, citing expenses, so private companies stepped in to sponsor the exhibit. |
