Jeb Bush said Monday that the Confederate flag has become a "racist" symbol and applauded efforts to remove the flag outside the South Carolina State Capitol after a racially motivated church shooting.

In his first campaign stop in South Carolina since the deadly shooting that killed nine at AME Emanuel Church in Charleston, Bush recalled how he "decided to do something politically incorrect" and removed the flags outside the Florida state house when he was governor in 2001.

"The symbols were racist," the Republican presidential candidate said during a campaign stop at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

So typical of how you simply can not trust the Republican establishment anymore, period. I care far more about what somebody like Ben “Cooter” Jones says about the matter (and he was a Democrat) as he is certainly not beholden to the soft headed donor money mentality that ones like Jeb are.

A woman neighbor of mine said she would vote for him, until I pointed out a few facts. She now has changed her mind.

I would support it right now as I am sick of the feds and the federal puppet courts being led by Obama.

I’m more sick of the people that send liberals in both parties to DC. They are the real problem. Had they not sent liberals to DC, liberals would not BE IN DC.

One of N reasons (where N is a very large number) why El_Jeb-O has positively NO chance of becoming POTUS.

FUJB.

FUJB today.

FUJB tomorrow.

FUJB when the sun becomes a red giant.

FUJB when the universe expands into complete nothingness.

And FUJB on all those times not mentioned.
