Except she waffled on that in the same way she waffled on Trump. She opposed multiple calls to take down the flag and tried to do a compromise in 2000 where it would be moved from the top of the Capitol building to a nearby flagpole. She finally agreed to it after the outrage following Dylan Roof’s massacre at a black church.

I mean I’m glad she did finally did agree to take it down. But in 2015, it shouldn’t take years of political calculations and a mass shooting by a white supremacist for a politician to realize that maybe the whole “confederacy glorification” that the South has reveled in since the Civil Rights Act was maybe not the best idea.

Thank you for reminding those who might have forgotten. She’s as much of a spineless worm as Lindsey Graham.
