So are you saying that repubs have been trying to get rid of the flag? If so, then we are in agreement.
I am saying mostly that for Democrats to criticize this flag and paint is as a Republican problem is absurd...since the governor who put it on the dome was a Dem and the governor who took it off the dome, but left it on the capitol grounds, was a Republican.
....so that yes, some Republicans have been in favor of getting rid of it. Some not.
