Confederate Flag Seen Flying Over Paving Project on Route 2
WHDH ^ | JUNE 27, 2023

The state Department of Transportation responded this week after a Confederate flag was seen flying over a paving project on Route 2 in Fitchburg.

The flag was captured on camera in a video shared with 7NEWS. In addition to the flag, the video showed crews working in the area.

In a statement, MassDOT said a subcontractor from Bloomfield, Conn. displayed the flag while doing work.

“MassDOT prohibits the display of the confederate flag and similar paraphernalia and has informed the contractor that they will not be allowed to perform further work until steps are taken to remove the flag,” MassDOT said.

But a pride flag would have been perfectly OK.

What would happen if someone flew a gay rainbow Confederate flag? It would probably short-circuit liberal brains.
And to my surprise, such a flag already exists on the internet.

To be fair, JFK doesn’t look thrilled.

We’re not the country of millions of illegal alien “refugees” yet. There are still millions of Americans around. We’re not outnumbered yet. The Dung Beetle Party has a lot of turd rolling to do before Americans are no longer the majority in our country.

That flag has been weaponized by both extremes of the political spectrum.

Public works should just display Old Glory or no flag at all.

So stop the work, pull your crews and equipment and leave the project where it is.

I’m deeply disappointed that no one saw the obvious joke here. We’re really slacking.

This must be one of those “racist roads” we’ve all heard about, captured in the act of being built.

Agreed. And that's the best image they could come up with for a "news" organization?
