Mississippi voted a few years ago and 63% of the people voted for the flag the cowardly republican governor and republican legislature threw under the bus because theyre scared of BLM.

The reason the Governor is doing this: The republican voters don’t vote, the Governor has nothing to fear in the next time he runs for any office.
Either the republican voters are minority or they don’t show up to vote.
ANd to post.
Hurrah Hurrah
Like in the majori8ty of states, MS voters are easily fooled by “Moderate Republicans.”
