If it isn’t some great principle, then why is he concerned with taking it down?
Sounds to me, like you are trying to defend Trump...when his true colors are showing.
He doesn’t sound that concerned to me. He was asked a question about the governor’s action and he answered it without resorting mealy mouthed weasel words. If flying the confederate flag on state property is some huge issue for you fine. It isn’t for most people. I’m not sure what “colors” that’s supposed to show.
Again, you are misrepresenting what he said as saying the states don’t have the right to do so. You should retract that statement if you care about being honest.
