Not Backing Down: Man to hang ‘Let’s go Brandon’ sign as he pays a $50 fine each day for hanging ‘Trump won’ banner
The U.S. Sun ^ | 10/23/2021 | Megan Sheets

A FLORIDA man facing a $50-a-day fine for displaying a "Trump Won" banner outside his home is planning to add another controversial sign.

Marvin Peavy has said he will also add a "Let's Go Brandon" banner to his house – a phrase that's become synonymous with "F**k you Biden."

The phrases were merged this month with the circulation of a viral video in which a reporter covering a Nascar race misheard the crowd's anti-Biden chant as words of support for winning driver Brandon Brown.

Peavy found himself in hot water with officials in Walton County, Florida, last week when he was accused of violating signage regulations with the "Trump Won" banner erected outside his house.

The county's legal code states that political signs must be removed 15 days after the end of a political campaign.

Officials say Peavy's sign also violates another part of the code which prohibits residents in the 30A corridor, a scenic beachside route, from displaying "streamers, feather flags, pennants, ribbons, spinners and other similar devices" that could distract from the area's natural beauty.

The county has threatened to charge him a $50 fine for each day the sign stays up, beginning on October 25.

Peavy told the Northwest Florida Daily News he put up the banner to provoke "seaside liberals" and "the 1 percent leftists" – but asserted that it's "not political."

"...must be removed 15 days after the end of a political campaign..."

I think he can argue that a "Trump Won" sign is not a campaign sign, but a statement about the corruption after the campaign.

It’s just about a NASCAR driver. How could they possibly object?

This guy should get one of his buddies to hang out a “Build Back Better” sign. If the officials leave that sign alone, then they’ve got to leave every sign alone.

How to prove it means FJB and not the face value LGB?
Especially if he knows someone named Brandon.

I would support his action except for the sign hanging past his neighbor’s balcony.

Shoot. It looked like a typical condo at first glance. I see now that it is all his house.

I wonder when they will start giving people daily fines until they submit to being Injected ?

We all know that is coming.

Misheard? Yeah, right.

The same people who have no problem with phony Black Lives Matter “murals” painted on roads and buildings are the people fining this guy.

Complete injustice. They hang their propaganda wherever they want it.

It doesn’t mean “F**k you Biden”

It means “F**K Joe Biden”

I’ve been by that house numerous times. It is an incredibly wonderful piece of property.

How is "Trump Won" a political sign? It's a point of view based on facts.

I see that Trump got 75% of the vote in that county

Looks like actual Biden supporters are few and far between down there
