Governor Haley calls for Confederate flag removal from Statehouse
South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley urged debate by the state legislature to remove the Confederate battle flag from the Statehouse grounds, saying the Emanuel AME Church massacre changed what the banner represents and that a special session may be called if needed. The move drew bipartisan support and was echoed by GOP leaders as discussions continued about relocating or removing the emblem.
