Trump supporter sues New York town for $25M: ‘They’re trying to silence me’

The town claims Michael Wasserman's political flags and stickers violate a local ordinance. He claims he's being targeted for his conservative views

The 62-year-old entrepreneur has become known in the area for plastering his home — along with his Porsche and Jeep — with a rotating variety of political flags and stickers. "They’re bending and massaging the ordinance to fit the crime. This is a blatant attempt to silence me." "If they didn’t try to cancel me, I probably wouldn’t be so prolific."  "There’s so much vitriol, hate and anger from [liberals]. Aren’t they supposed to be inclusive of everyone? They’re not." Now he has filed a $25 million federal suit — against the City of Long Beach, the chief of police, the city manager and specific police officers — after officials forced him to remove the flags on his cars. The town claims they are a violation of an ordinance stating that "[No] sign shall be erected, affixed or maintained within the perimeter of any … public street or public property." Wasserman parks his car on a public street outside his home.
