“I’m here on the beach, and I got a lot of traffic, and people needed to see what I believe in,” a grinning Peavy told WMBB-TV. “That’s free speech, and I wanted everyone to know that I’m a Republican and I’m supporting Donald Trump.”
Walton County Code Compliance official Michael Lynch told WMBB that the land-use code preserves the visual structure of the peaceful beach vacation community, and that the banner’s content is irrelevant.
Peavy had previously flown his “Trump Won” banner last year during the 2020 presidential election, but he removed it after President Biden took office, and this past Saturday added, “Lets Go Brandon”.
He says he’s not backing down and says has offers from all over the country to pay the fines.
