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.”

There are **** Biden 5X8 flags flying in pickups all around this area, and back window stickers too.

Admitted despot in training”

Just typical politician trying to throw a bone to the losing side to save his hide.

Hey, I’m a poet!

I have been attending weekly flag waves here in Central FL for 1 1/2 yrs (we never stopped) and a couple of months ago a few of the F Biden flags started to come. We had a lot of families and older people and people were being turned off.Then it suddenly became a thing and our patriotic flag wave started to become profane shouting matches with pink haired young people giving us he finger and screaming F Trump. Honestly it is juvenile and tiresome to see grown adults flying them and screaming into people’s car. Finally I had enough of it and told them to stop coming. Of course some threw a fit about their freedom of speech but it was making all Republicans and Trump look like trash. It has been so much better with just American and patriotic flags flying once again. We must not become uncivilized and act out like leftists

As a matter of fact, I was just thinking about that. Looking back, it was more prophecy than wish. Trump definitely got stabbed by everyone, from all sides.

Cussing out a thief is not right. Using foul language to describe Biden is not decent. There are better slogans: “Reject Biden.” “Stop Biden.” and “Halt Harris.”

What vile and vulgar people do not seem to understand is that they can lose their rights and freedoms by abusing them.

With great freedom comes great responsibility.

F Biden flags are irresponsible. They are not conservative.

I don’t even know what f*** means. Is it good or is it bad? Inquiring minds want to know. Words seem to have such fluidity any more.

Try wearing a flag shirt in a high school classroom and then see how protected the speech is.

You're a despots biggest lackey.

If a right or freedom can be lost by voicing it then it's neither a right nor a freedom.

You should be ashamed.

That’s okay because Trump is part of the bad group. But if you malign the good group, you’re evil and must be punished.
