Former Mississippi governor and former Republican National Committee chairman Haley Barbour said that connecting the shooting to the confederate flag is “beyond stretching.”
“The flag didn’t have a thing in the world to do with what happened,” Barbour said. “It is part of history, just like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, who were all slave owners. Are we now going to change the name of the Washington Monument, too?”
