Senator Flipflops On Confederate Flag

White House hopeful Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will call for South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds in the wake of the shooting deaths of nine people at a historic black church in Charleston, S.C. A source familiar with Graham’s decision said he will make the call alongside Gov. Nikki Haley (R-S.C.) at a press conference Monday afternoon. The Post and Courier reported earlier Monday afternoon that Haley would call for the flag’s removal at the news conference. The decision is the latest shift in opinion by the Palmetto State senator since Wednesday night’s shooting. Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old suspected shooter, has been seen in pictures standing next to the flag and wearing patches of flags from African governments that supported segregation. He also reportedly told police he had wanted to start a race war/ The Hill. More here.

Question: Should the Confederate flag be banned in the United States?
