It's not leadership to bow to pressure on what should've been done a long time ago. What is that saying about doing the right thing even when no one is watching?

People changes, attitudes change, and facts come to light on many different issues. Not changing because of fear of being labeled a flip-flopper is not only silly, it's why this country is never going to get any better.
If it takes the murder of 9 people to change your mind on an obvious symbol of a truly nasty and despicable time in American history, you're either completely ignorant of that history or you agree with what that symbol stands for. Neither is really defensible, and no amount of revisionist history changes anything. No one flies the Nazi flag as a sign of German heritage.

Senator Paul Thurmond gave a much better speech than Haley did. No more bull crap. He sugar-coated nothing about the Confederacy.

Why not just get rid of Haley now? Simple as that...she turned on her(I assume) voting base because of political pressure. Now yall should return the favor get her out of office. She's clearly a fake.

Get her out of office? She's in her second term. We have no recall ability here like out West. She would have to be impeached to be removed from office, and she's done nothing to warrant that.

You are a sad person.

Haley's base is primarily pro-business conservatives who don't care about the confederate flag, and will oppose the confederate flag if it gets in the way of business.

Using a weak ass political opportunity like this to call for thw removal of the flag sounds watrented to remove her to me. If she was a democrat id gve her a pass but shes not.
