Floridian Marvin Peavy has added a new banner to his Santa Rosa Beach, FL, home in support of Donald Trump amid a high-cost legal dispute over the erection of his signs.
Peavy, of Walton County, added a banner of Trump’s famous “FIGHT!” photo captioned “you missed, Trump 2024” to his beach home. In addition, he added a banner describing the former president as “bulletproof” in another reference to the recent assassination attempt on Trump.
The Republican has had his pro-Trump banners up since 2021, but was ordered to take them down by a Walton County judge. For every day beyond the removal deadline, Peavy has been fined $50 – a total Peavy believes to be beyond $50,000 at this stage.
In a video reposted on social media platform X, Peavy said it was his “constitutional right” to display the banners. He has rejected any offer of a GoFundMe campaign as “because he’s not going to pay the fines.”
Give it a watch for yourself:
Many on social media praised Peavy for his commitment to free speech.
He also received high praise from the local neighborhood.
Peavy has appealed the court decision. Local media reports that Walton County officials, who have added the new banners to the case, are concerned about the size and type of signs permitted by a scenic highway, rather than the message. Peavy argues that this is a violation of the First Amendment.
