Last month, a reader sent a photo of a golf cart at Longshore.

A large flag, draped across the back, said “Trump 2024 — Save America Again.”

The reader wanted to know why a Longshore employee could drive around the course, displaying a political message.

One view of the golf cart …

Not wanting to jump to conclusions — I’ve learned that lesson — I contacted Westport’s Parks & Recreation Department.

They said the cart belongs to a nearby neighbor — not an employee. I posted that photo, and the explanation, on July 27.

Since then, several other readers sent similar photos. I referred them to that item, emphasizing he does not work for the town.

A couple of days ago, things escalated.

Someone approached the golf cart driver. He’s a Staples High School graduate with a thriving local business. He lives on the Saugatuck River in a home on the private road just off the golf course, a couple of hundred yards from the first tee.

He uses his cart, apparently, to voluntarily help maintain the course.

The other man demanded that he remove the banner.

“Don’t touch my flag!” the driver responded.

… and another.

A video obtained by “06880” does not show either man, but the audio is clear. The man continues to demand the flag’s removal.

“”I will f—ing blow your head apart!” the golf cart driver says, as the man apparently tries to rip the flag off, tearing it in the process. “Who the f— do you think you’re talking to?!”

The other man angrily retorts, “I’m talking to a worker.”

“Don’t tell me what to do!” the golf cart driver — who is most definitely not “a worker” — says.

The very heated encounter ends when, apparently, a police officer arrives.

“He’s gonna f—ing buy me a new one!” the video ends. “Motherf—er!”

According to the Connecticut Centinal — the far-right website that first reported the fight, under the headline “Westport Liberal Got So Triggered By Sight Of Trump Flag on Golf Cart That He Tried To Rip It Off” — the golf cart driver “agreed that if the unhinged liberal replaced the damaged flag with a new one, he would not press charges.

“If the flag doesn’t get replaced, Westport Police have assured (him) that they will address the situation.”
