Mt. Olive Pickles responded to an X thread about the situation, saying it was unaware a Confederate flag would be displayed at the state’s booth when it agreed to participate in the exhibit.
Quote from this news article. Looks like NC was unofficially represented by a booth run by an unspecified private group. Mt. Olive was part of that booth, but pulled out once the confederate flag at the same booth was reported to them. I couldn’t read the Xitter thread without an account so of course I didn’t, but it apparently has more details.
Ah, I see why I had a hard time understanding. I assumed that Mt. Olive Pickles had its own booth, but you’re saying that it was simply one of many companies represented in a single booth that represented NC, one of which decided to display the confederate flag?
If that’s the case, then this article has done Mt. Olive Pickles a disservice by not making the booth situation crystal clear.

Yes, that is my understanding of the situation, based on what little I could find. Like many news articles now, it really should have been more clear.
