Last year, South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley dismissed the Confederate flag as an issue for the state to be concerned about. But in the wake of the Charleston church shooting, with renewed attention on what the Confederate flag symbolizes, Haleyflanked by a score of South Carolina legislatorsannounced that they all support efforts to take down the Confederate flag from the state capitol.
Ann Coulter appeared with Kennedy on Fox Business Network tonight and said that there are a lot of people getting the history of that flag wrote, as well as ignoring the Democrats history with the Confederacy, the flag, and African-Americans.
At one point, she said, Im appalled bythough, I really like to like Nikki Haley since she is a Republican. On the other hand, she is an immigrant and does not understand Americas history.
Kennedy asked, Immigrants cant understand history? Coulter responded, Well, she doesnt!
Update- 10:22 pm EST: Kind of an important clarification here, but Haley was actually born in South Carolina. Her parents were immigrants.

If we’re going to ban the Confederate flag, can we also ban Che Guevara decals, bumper stickers, and shirts while we’re at it?
No.
I agree.
She mocks Americans by taking down their historical flags and allows non-American symbols like the Mexican flag to fly proudly.
Sick and twisted mind.
Popular speech does not need protection. The First Amendment protects unpopular speech.
The eventual goal is to ban all symbols of sovereignty, sect, group or persuasion. The goal is to enforce allegiance to that symbol of the One World Order - whatever symbolic form that will take. To date, the only one that springs to mind is the Obama Sunrise.
Confederate battle flag debate aside, I think Ann Coulter has lost her mind. She at least used to keep her facts reasonably straight, but now she just doesn’t seen to care whether her comments are accurate or not.
So, wonder what Ann thinks about Trumps comments then?
Why don’t we just ban people who want to ban things?
Modern immigrants are NOT being forced to understand or even study American history. I served on jury duty once with a Korean immigrant who didn’t know what the 5th Amendment was. Try dealing with that. They come here for economic freedom and couldn’t care less what happened before 2010.
Mika Brezinski - the smartest woman in the world after Sheila Jackson Lee - was demanding Amazon take down its swastika collection. What a patriot!
Nikki Haley isn’t an immigrant; her parents were. So were mine.
Ann Coulter is wildly offbase, again.
I am not happy with Haley’s move here.Very bad in my opinion as it legitimizes an improper treatment of an historical event that has never been taught properly.

“The Confederate [flag] is speech. Speech that may be unpopular in some segments of the population.
Popular speech does not need protection. The First Amendment protects unpopular speech.”
I was disappointed the SCOTUS ruled recently that vanity license plates are “government speech” and therefore not afforded First Amendment protections; i.e., the state of Texas can reject an application from the Sons of Confederate Veterans for a vanity plate containing the Confederate battle flag even if the application otherwise meets all the rules and regulations. It was even more disappointing to learn that Clarence Thomas sided with the majority in a 5-4 decision.
Until we eliminate the real symbol of racism from the country we will never have peace... What is that symbol? its the White heterosexual Male of course.
at least from public property....and the more people that are aware of what a hateful murdering prick Che was, the better...
It would probably get yanked if I posted a link, but there’s an incredibly funny (if also incredibly vulgar) episode of The Boondocks where their version of Ann is really in cahoots with the Left and only doing what she does to get “Redneck Money”
She’s still correct: Nikki Haley doesn’t understand the civil war.
Right, Haley was born in Bamberg, South Carolina.
That is a pretty big blunder for Ann Coulter.
