Same thing happened in Georgia that happened in South Carolina. A RAT governor put the confederate flag up, a GOP governor took it down. Unfortunately facts don't matter to the left (or the neo-confederates for that matter).
David Beasley (R) didn’t actually remove the flag, he merely came out in favor of it’s removal. I believe the rat legislature tuned down his request.
The rat who beat him in 1998, Jim Hodges, avoiding mentioning the flag and played both sides.
