MITT ROMNEY: TAKE DOWN THE CONFEDERATE FLAG, IT’S ‘A SYMBOL OF RACIAL HATRED’
Breitbart ^ | 20 JUN 2015 | Awr Hawkins

Posted on 06/20/2015 11:20:07 AM PDT by South40

On June 20 former GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney called for South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from their state Capitol grounds in Columbia.

His call comes in the wake of the heinous attack on Charleston’s Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. It follows a photo of the suspected gunman, Dylann Roof, in which Roof is seen leaning against his car with a Confederate flag license plate visible on the front of his vehicle being widely circulated.

Here were Romney’s exact words: “Take down the Confederate Flag at the SC Capitol. To many, it is a symbol of racial hatred. Remove it now to honor Charleston victims.”

I heard a sound bite from McCain on the radio news today. At first I could have sworn it was the Col. Kurtz radio transmission tape from Apocalypse Now.

Romney is speaking nonsense. It's part of our history.

As for those who supported Romney - just about anybody would be better than Obama. Right or wrong, some here felt that Romney had the best chance to defeat him. No GOP candidate has the level of contempt for this country as Obama. Rudy was right when he said Obama does no like this country.

Wasn’t his dad born in Mexico? So does South Carolina replace the Confederate flag with the Mexican flag, Milt?

Meanwhile, a black officer was MURDERED today in New Orleans by a black thug, no coverage, oh and the killer is still on the loose, probably Frederika Whitfield is hiding him out somewhere since she considers him “Courageous and Brave”

Unbelievably, there are already people saying they’ll vote for Jebster if the RNC shoves him down our throats.

And you will now be accused of supporting Hillary by the Jebsters for saying that.

Guns and Confederate flags cause mass murder.

Its time to ban them and end mass murder.

To believe such nonsense is in the realm of insanity.

The killer lived in his own realm of insanity as well.

God help us to find sanity in this world.
