The negative PR for supporting something that is largely seen as a symbol of slavery will be a too much of a distraction.

That negative PR existed when they decided not to remove the flag. It hasn't translated into any economic hardships. I don't think it will going forward.

“That negative PR existed when they decided not to remove the flag. It hasn’t translated into any economic hardships. I don’t think it will going forward. “

The negative PR got impossible to ignore when a guy who is an admitted white supremacist claiming he wants to start a civil war killed 9 black people at a historical black church while they were having a prayer meeting.

Pulling the flag down from state buildings is really the only action that can be taken.
Governor Haley can’t make people not be racists and she can’t make people not hate each other. She can make the state buildings look neutral.
