Norfolk’s CBS News affiliate reports:
A boat that was awarded first place in the annual Yorktown Lighted Boat Parade has now been disqualified after many expressed concerns over its messaging.
The boat reportedly had a lighted sign stating, “FJB”– a phrase that stands for “F – Joe Biden” and “Let’s Go Brandon,” which references those who do not support the President.
Capt. Bill Berger owns the boat. “When we left, we were declared the winner,” Berger said. “48 hours later it was stripped from us and I think it’s from pressure.”
