Former Clinton advisor Paul Begala told CNN's Chris Cuomo Tuesday morning that Hillary Clinton "absolutely" has to answer for standing by her husband when he served as governor of Arkansas and defended that state's flag's relationship to the Confederate battle flag.
"Does she have to answer for her time as first lady in Arkansas with Bill standing by the Arkansas flag proudly when it, too, is said to borrow from the Confederate symbology?" Cuomo said.
"Well, sure, absolutely," said Begala. "Times change. Circumstances change." Watch the video below:

Begala added he is "really thrilled" that South Carolina appears likely to remove the Confederate flag from a war memorial on the state capitol grounds in Columbia.
"This is a completely different country than it was twenty or thirty years ago," he said.

Hillary can withstand breaking every law in the book.
I’m sure she can live down a mere flag.
Socialists will line up around the block to vote for the witch.

I'll say it is! Then it was America. Now it is closer to the old USSR or 1930's Germany.

I’m not so sure about that. Don’t forget that in 2008 she was destroyed by a nobody. And there’s plenty of b*tching and moaning about her on the lefty blogs. Too close to Wall Street, too bellicose in foreign policy etc. And Bernie Sanders appears to be surging. Yah nevah know.

Could this entire brew-ha-ha be a backdoor plot by Liberals to take out Hillary?

Why would she answer for a Confederate flag campaign image? Nothing ever sticks to her anyway... she’ll just ignore the issue until it becomes “old news,” at which time she’ll express the requisite amount of exasperation while huffing out how the country has “grown” in the past 24 years.

No, she doesn’t. Gotta side with Shrillary on this if she doesn’t say a word. What difference does it make?

"This is a completely different country than it was twenty or thirty years ago," he said.
Twenty or thirty years ago, was it permissible for the Secretary of State to allow the rape and murder of American ambassador, and could the Secretary of State also allow three brave Americans trying to save the American ambassador to die with no military support to rescue them?
