David Easonis stirring up controversy once again.
Eason, the husband ofTeen Mom 2starJenelle Evans, received backlash over the weekend after he posted a photo holdinga Confederate flagduring a visit to the Grand Canyon.
“Just planting my flag in all 50 states!” he captioned a series ofInstagram photosof himself holding the flag while standing on the edge of a cliff.
In a separate video, Evans can be heard egging her husband on as he poses with the flag.
“Oh, that’s awesome,” the reality star says as she films him from afar.
“It’s just where I’m from, my heritage. Kind like when people fly a flag that represents their state because it’s where they are from,” he responded to a fan that asked what the flag means to him. “If someone thinks it has to do with racism or slaves they aren’t thinking enough. More racist people fly the beloved American flag, which was the flag flying on the American slave ships…No concern there?”
The post comes less than a month after Eason first received criticism for posing with the controversial flag.
At the time, Evans appeared todefend her husbandon her Instagram Story.

In October, Evansdenied that her husband had abused her, despite her call to policereporting that he had allegedly hurt her.
“He’s been drinking and I think that he got violent because he was drinking,” Evans claimed. “I’mrecovering from a surgery… on Monday.”
Evans later said in a YouTube video that she was “completely fine.”
“I know everyone’s concerned about me, and I know everyone wants to know, ‘Is she okay? How are the kids? Blah blah blah,’” she said. “Everything’s fine. You know, I’ve been in so many domestic violence situations in the past that I would not put up with it now. So I don’t know why you guys would think that I would continue to stay in this relationship if I was being abused.”
“We have never been happier, thanks for asking!” Eason captioned a selfie with his wife and daughter on Oct. 20.
