Republican Governor Nikki Haley Calls for Confederate Flag to Come Down — #SouthCarolina

This is a really big story.

At the Charleston Post and Courier, "Gov. Nikki Haley moments ago called for the removal of the Confederate flag from the Statehouse grounds, saying the killings of nine church-goers at Emanuel AME in Charleston last week mandated a change in the state’s heart."

Republicans are going tear down that flag. Democrats put it up in the first place.

ICYMI: "Democrat Governor Fritz Hollings First Raised Confederate Flag Over South Carolina Statehouse in 1961."
