what has white house said about nc flag at fair

The White House has not been quoted as issuing a direct statement about the North Carolina flag display at the fair in the results I found. The reporting instead points to North Carolina officials and pavilion organizers: the pavilion said an “unapproved image” was removed, and Governor Josh Stein condemned the display.

What was said

  • The North Carolina pavilion said it became aware of “an unapproved image” in a video inside the booth and removed it right away.
  • News reports say Stein’s office condemned the display and confirmed the flag was taken down.
  • I did not find a direct White House quote addressing the flag specifically in the material available here.

Context

The controversy came from a North Carolina exhibit at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., where a Confederate flag image was reportedly shown in a video display. The fair itself is part of the broader semiquincentennial celebration effort associated with the Trump-supported Freedom250 initiative.

Bottom line

So, the clearest public response in the available coverage came from North Carolina’s side, not the White House.
