If all these people , from the governor of South Carolina to the leaders of The Citadel feel this way now, where were they prior to all of this? Did they give their tacit support to this particular flag or are they just caving to popular(and cheap) sentiment? seems to me it’s the latter.
What are you complaining about? They’re officially Confederacy haters.
You were just ahead of the curve in being the mainstream of the Republican Party.
It’s the latter, as in no spine.
