So apparently today Gov. Haley, Senators Graham and Scott and maybe some other Republicans are going to call for the flag to come down. Before these photos came out they all waffled on the issue but (as I predicted) these photos were the straw that broke the back. The flag is no longer defensible, even for GOPers. I'm just surprised it took this long.
But don't necessarily expect the flag to come down anytime real soon. Even though the SC legislature is already scheduled to meet for a special session this week, it's not clear that they can be bothered to add this to the agenda.
