Nine people were slaughtered during that atrocity, and Nikki Haley uses their death as an excuse to showboat on national television for a signing ceremony. And they say Trump likes attention.

She has lost my vote, but she has turned the Confedreate Flag into a new symbol of protest. When the Confederate Flag comes down from the CONFEDERATE MEMORIAL tomorrow, my new one goes up on my flagpole. It hasn’t a thing to do with slavery, it has everything to do with freedom lost. And the attempt by liberals to rewrite history. We should all be flying this flag in protest of our dwindling freedoms...from being told what to eat, so to marry, etc. and what flag is or is not politically correct. This historical flag will now rise again as a protest against the nanny state. I will fly my new flag proudly.

Well stated. Furthermore, she sends a sick message: “The flag made him do it.” And she is pushing the left’s agenda, making sure there is yet another victory for the Thought Police. Someone as devious as she no doubt has skeletons in her closet.

Finally, If only we had taken down this flag 150 years ago there would be no violence in the streets. Now the crips and bloods will walk hand and hand as they sweep up the garbage, cut down the weeds, and remove all the graffiti in their ghettos, I will now visit Chicago and Detroit on the summer weekends for a fun filled weekend of unicorns and rainbows.

If the KKK had not wrapped themselves in what is called the “Confederate Flag” we would be looking at a totally different outcome here.

What about the stars and strips?

It is so common it is no big deal really.

Cold Heat, you did well in defending her, but I will disagree. I am long past the mood to compromise on most anything these days.

I do like the idea of flying a “Pine Tree flag” and I will likely order one.

I would comment more, but my ^%$# keyboard is going south.

I totally get it Gator....I basically am resisting my own inclinations. But I think it’s the better thing to do.

Yeah...the pine tree is a good one due to the fact that it symbolizes the founding and revolution combined with faith.

The shooter also used a car to get to the church and a computer or cell phone to post his flag pictures. Where’s the outrage on these things.

Nikki did the best she could with an untenable position

She has done pretty well as governor and SC is the better for it
