Honestly, because of how direct she was in telling him why she wasn't going to hire him, I'd venture to guess she'd be a pretty damn good client. She'd tell you what she wants, and would be able to discuss timelines and expectations.

Contractor is also a moron. Like many others, I was expecting either a bumper sticker or an SCV tag. But a full 3×5, well, you're going to piss some people off. Why would you limit your potential clients?

I thought this was over a sticker until I saw the truck pull up, why do you need a full sized flag of anything attached to your vehicle

The only thing “shocking” about this video is how big the flag was when he pulled away.

Was not expecting that

Yeah, this is stupid on the part of the owner. Both parties have their rights, but there are no rights to repercussions.

dude is a dumbass for having that on a vehicle he uses for his business. FAFO I guess. Trashy as all hell. He has the right to display that on his vehicle and they have the right to tell him gtfo of my yard. They handled it well.

That looks fake as frick.


Hook was way too shiny with the massive fricking flag. Bumper sticker would have been way more believable

Flag or no flag, I wouldn’t hire him bc of his appearance and what he drives. No way he has vehicle insurance let alone a license and contractor insurance

It amazes me how business owners so often publicly link themselves to known divisive issues. No good can come of it.


At one time, it was always good business practice to stay politically neutral. But in today’s world, you are expected to take certain political views and if you don’t, then you are labeled as the opposition.

Did he know he was going to a job at a black family's home? Because that would make it an even dumber decision than if he just drove around with that flag as his usual thing. If he did it on purpose, he was just trying to piss them off. I guess he doesn't like money.

This. Take a lesson from Michael Jordan when he said something along the lines of Republicans buy tennis shoes too. As a business owner you just want to make money and should care less about political agendas or anything else, much less advertise it on your vehicle.
