South Carolina state Rep. Norman Doug Brannon (R) said Friday night he plans on introducing a bill to remove the Confederate flag near his states capitol building.
The legislation was inspired by Wednesday evenings mass shooting that claimed nine lives at historic black church in Charleston, S.C., he said.
Im not a politician tonight, Brannon told host Chris Hayes on MSNBCs All In on Friday evening.
But I do have access, and I will introduce that bill in December, he said of the proposed change in state law. I will pre-file that bill in December when we go back into session.

Eventually, yes and no. What it will do is give them ideas on how to out law the private ownership and possession of firearms.
Guess I’ll buy a few and start flying them here in Montana. Gotta keep things in balance you know.
I have a front licence plate that has an American Flag and a Confederate Battle Flag together. I m thinking of removing it from my truck and hanging it up in my garage.
Im concerned that I am making myself and family a target of some wacho.
This is a sad day for our Country.
Well the Republican party in South Carolina used to be the Democrats before the 1990’s. from Lindsey Graham to Nicky Haley, they make the Rino’s in DC look right wing.

Hitler did the same thing with the swastika. It was a respected symbol going back to the Iron Age. Now Germany outlaws any public display and vigorously prosecutes anyone who manufactures something with the symbol—regardless of whether it is associated with Nazism or not.
Lindsey Graham and Nikki Haley have never been democrats and Republicans have held power in SC politics for years. I would be shocked if the Republican controlled SC legislature voted to take down the Confederate Battle Flag from the Confederate memorial where it now rests. This was a compromise years ago and democrats and Republicans voted for it and the NAACP also endorsed the display.
Don't Ask/Don't Tell was a compromise too. That worked out well, didn't it?
This is what happens when stupid Republicans like Brannon start accepting the leftist narrative. Next the Democrats will demand that everything associated with the Confederacy be removed from the state history.
What does the confederate flag have to do with the shooting in Charleston beyond the fact that some racist activist are using the opportunity to attack it and South Carolina history?
The flag is on a Civil War monument that is equivalently dedicated to one of the most important events in South Carolina’s history.
There is anther monument on the east side of the capital dedicated to slavery. If you want to errace slavery why dont you take down that monument instead?
This RINO should be primaries for poor judgement and eagerness to jump ship.
What a jackass!
Move up to Dee-troit.
There’s always some simp ready to buckle under for a pat on the head.
Another GOP Quisling
A shocker
The left plays stupid white people with race like marionettes
That fact is parsed to death by south haters here
Why did Lincoln not free slaves under his control?
I guess cause he didn’t want to deal with them
Who would feed them etc
They ideally hoped they would all stay down south once freed and negate any political power of the rebels and become totally dependent on their new federal masters
Kind of how it turned out in the end now
Just the political parties changed coats
I’ve seen plenty of them flying around Kalispel and Whitefish
My hope is that this bill goes nowhere and that Rep. Norman Doug Brannon (M) gets laughed out of the House. (The M stands for Moron.)

1. This guy going on MSNBC to promote the current Leftist cause du jour says to me that he is out-of-touch with the conservative constituents he is supposed to represent, and needs to be challenged in the GOP primary.
2. The fact that he can't file it till December means it's going nowhere, as everyone will have long moved on at that time, and the Left will be too focused on the presidential primaries to make this a meme again.
3. The Left bothering with such a stupid issue (the flag) instead of gun control feels like a tacit admission on their part that they know gun control isn't going anywhere, not in the U.S. Congress, not in the South Carolina legislature nor with the American public at large.
Brannon is also not a Southerner.
