WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A Florida municipal worker was suspended without pay for flying a flag supporting President Donald Trump's re-election from his government truck.

Palm Beach County suspended construction project specialist Randall Williams for five days for violating its rules against engaging in political activity during work hours.

“During a heated political season such as the one we find ourselves in now, it is imperative to remember that political activities must be done outside of working hours,” County Engineer David Ricks wrote in a staff memo Friday announcing the suspension.

A motorist spotted Williams, 61, driving his county truck with a Trump flag attached to the driver's window last week and took a photo, The Palm Beach Post reports. The photo was forwarded to the county, which identified Williams.

I work for the Federal Government and if someone did that in our workplace there are two remedies: a 30-day suspension or removal. It's serious.
