A Confederate flag that was on display for North Carolina’s booth at the Great American State Fair in D.C.’s National Mall has been condemned by the governor … and will be removed.

Here’s the deal … the booth went viral on Friday after a visitor posted a video of monitors showing a flag split between the current and the Confederate flag. Needless to say … some people were super pissed.

A spokesperson for Gov. Josh Stein tells TMZ … “This flag does not represent the North Carolina that we love. America 250 is about unity and bringing our nation together. We are pleased the flag that did the opposite has now been taken down. Here in Raleigh, North Carolina, we are hosting a July 4th A250 celebration that will honor the spirit of equality and freedom in the Declaration of Independence. Everyone is welcome.”

We also hear … a member of Stein’s team spoke with event organizers — and they are working on taking down that part of the display.

Mt. Olive Pickle Company, one of the sponsors of the booth, ended its participation over the controversy, per reports … saying in part, “We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation. Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom.”
