Profanity-laced political flag denouncing President Biden stirs controversy in Tennessee town Munford mayor says flag vulgar, but protected speech

MUNFORD, Tenn. — A political flag in the small town of Munford, Tennessee is stirring controversy by using foul language to denounce President Joe Biden and those who voted for him.

The flag reads, “(expletive) Biden and (expletive) you for voting for him.”

Mayor Dwayne Cole says he’s received several complaints about the flag since it went up at least a month ago. He says the city attorney looked into it and determined the homeowner has every right to fly the flag.

“It’s vile. It’s vulgar. It’s protected speech under the Constitution,” Cole said. “If I had the authority to make him take it down, I would definitely do that.”

I imagine that no one has tried to steal or destroy the flag is that the 2nd amendment applies here , also.

“If i had the power to take it down, I would.”

And that is how the constitution protects you from the inherent natural totalitarian bent all politicians have, some much more than others.

So now the citizens of Mumford know where Mayor Dewayne Cole stands regarding the First Amendment. He recognizes its authority, but doesn’t like it one bit. If he could, he’d change it.

Does anyone here remember a ‘play’ in a park featuring the assassination of President Trump?

I’ve seen several of those flags in Southwestern PA. I’m not aware of any controversy surrounding them.

Funny how nobody of note on the left called Kathy Griffins depiction of the severed head of Trump “vile” or “vulgar,” being a hundred times worse than this.

The flag reads, “(expletive) Biden and (expletive) you for voting for him.” >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Sounds like a Scottish Flag from 1749 from the Battle of Culloden.

“Fu*k King George II and Fu*k you for pledging to him.”

So whats the problem? It should be protected speech.

Interestingly, while watching the RSBN lead up to the Trump Rally, they were working the crowd outside the venue and were discussing/interviewing a couple of very Christian people. In the background, on occasion an F&&& Biden flag would unfurl and show on camera.

I chuckled, but I’m sure that it would offend some.

I’ve seen these flags around. Today during the 4th of July parade, someone was carrying one of these flags, and it made the news. Although I agree with the sentiment, I don’t think it was appropriate for the parade with all the kids watching. They could have shown their support for Trump without the vulgarity.

He is not a biden supporter; he is a Christian who does not like the profanity on display...Just sayin’

From Mayor’s Facebook:

A constituent wrote: Happy 4th Mayor Cole! Re your comment about the vile anti Biden flag...you had sd if you had the power to take it down you would. I hope you mean only bc of the profanity on display & not the general sentiment. Snip

Mayor Dwayne Cole: Yes ma’am, that is exactly what I meant. I do believe that America is a place of differing opinions, protected by the Constitution. While I am not a Biden supporter, I am fully standing firm on the constitution in every person‘s right to express their opinion. That you and your neighbor have opposing views politically but are able to find common ground is what America is all about. Thank you for reaching out. Happy Independence Day!!
