PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WNCT) – The Mt. Olive Pickle Company says it decided to withdraw from the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., after a Confederate flag was included in an exhibit.
The company told Nexstar’s WNCT that they were invited to participate in the North Carolina exhibit.
“We are proud of our North Carolina roots, and we agreed to be a part of an exhibit, as presented to us, that would represent the best of our great state,” the company, based in Mount Olive, North Carolina, said in a statement...
The Confederate flag appeared in a video that played at the North Carolina exhibit.
Mt. Olive Pickle Company said they were unaware of that image was being used, and have since pulled out of the display.
“Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom,” the company added in its statement.

They should not be missed.
I switched to medium pepperoncini with my sandwiches. Very tasty.

Their panties-——wad! So, about those claims of “someone” (?) wanting to erase history. Hello kettle!
😊👍🇺🇸
Great pickles which will never buy again.
So...history is HARD, for them?
The Confederate flag appeared in a video that played at the North Carolina exhibit.
Well. That’s that I suppose.
We love their products.
But after this we will no longer purchase them.
He better not watch “The Sound of Music”. It might trigger him.
Would they have pulled out if there was an Islamic flag? Would they have pulled out if any of that pro Palestinian garbage was displayed?
Mount Olive is still a privately held company.
Wonder if there was a quid pro quo for this...
Just fly the “Bonnie Blue Flag” instead of the Confederate Battle Flag. Both flags represent the CSA but I doubt any of the woke ninnies have a clue what the Bonnie Blue is or what it stands for.
A move with no upside, only downsides.
George Floyd would be proud.
This Week in Pollution: A big fine for the Mt. Olive Pickle Company
That was a lot of illegal dumping.
Now I'm really, really wondering about a quid pro quo
I don’t see it... Must not have happend, TV news...
The consequences of purging history. I knew it was over for the USA when they tore down Gen Lee
I hate pickles anyway.
Not to mention even VMI taking down Stonewall Jackson’s statue. Orwellian.
