Jeb Bush said Monday that the Confederate flag has become a "racist" symbol and applauded efforts to remove the flag outside the South Carolina State Capitol after a racially motivated church shooting.
In his first campaign stop in South Carolina since the deadly shooting that killed nine at AME Emanuel Church in Charleston, Bush recalled how he "decided to do something politically incorrect" and removed the flags outside the Florida state house when he was governor in 2001.
"The symbols were racist," the Republican presidential candidate said during a campaign stop at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant.

FUJB!
Jeb spouts Jebberish. Dog bites man.
x2
Did he say this when he was running for governor of Florida?
going down in flames with his base
Jeb Bush is a RINO symbol and should be removed from the list of republican candidates!
I think the important thing here is that we vote for the GOP liberal no matter what indignation they heap on America.
Because thats the conservative thing to do.
Speaking like a true carpetbagger!
Jeb is a symbol of RINOism.
Oh and we need to move on as it’s settled law/science and stuff.
FUJB
I know NOT ONE republican who likes Jeb or will EVER voter for him (primary or general election).
So where does he get his support to lead in the polls???
Lesser evils. AKA Liberals and Democrats.
The more I see and hear from Jeb Bush, the more I think he would be an excellent running mate for Hillary Clinton. Both are deceitful, dishonest, position shifting depending on the wind, old school, not in particularly good physical condition, have taken advantage of family/political ties to make millions off shady business associates and both are disliked by a substantial part of their own party.
Ya think Jeb had this in mind?
Naw ... it requires too much independent thought and hasn't been approved by his handlers.
My bad ... sorry.
Because this is what Republicans want in a leader! A coward who bends over with every stiff breeze! You bet! You go republicans!
Yer dang right. Those flags need to come off of there right now.
Jeb Bush is a racist symbol.
I wondered the same thing about our last two nominees during the last two primarys.
