The CEO of Camping World is fighting a North Carolina town over a 3,200-square-foot American flag even, he says, if he risks jail for contempt.
‘The flag isn’t coming down. It’s the only thing I know for certain. I know I’m going to die. I know I’m going to pay taxes. And I know I’m not taking the flag down.’ That’s a defiant Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World CWH, -1.79% , who is fighting a North Carolina town over a 3,200-square-foot Stars and Stripes even, he says, if he risks jail for contempt.
The monetary penalty may be pocket change for such well-timed publicity close to Memorial Day for the celebrity CEO who is also behind the CNBC show “The Profit.” If a judge grants the city an injunction, Lemonis says his refusal to remove the flag that’s been flying for six months could land him in contempt of court. He told USA Today he would be willing to take that personal consequence.
