Trump campaign flag on NC ferry triggers social media squabble, DOT investigation
A photo showing a Trump 2020 campaign flag flying atop a state-operated ferry on the Outer Banks has rubbed some people the wrong way since it hit social media.
Catherine Mitchell posted the photo in the community section of the North Carolina Ferry System Facebook page Thursday evening, saying it was taken aboard the MV Frisco ferry.
I love our ferries. I love our ferry personnel. This does not make me happy, Mitchells post said. Im sorry, but is this legal? How would the person who flew this flag feel about a Hillary Clinton flag instead? I thought that government services were supposed to serve everyone and not be political.
The post, which drew a couple hundred comments, has since been deleted. But others reposted the photo on Facebook and Twitter.
