They were unable to distract with the usual bullshit because they found the photos and his manifesto.

She was crying last night at the SC House Debate about the flag, had me crying then, and now, I'm crying again. Bless South Carolina and these good people.....fighting hate with love....just like at the church...

(10,044 posts)and said it was adding insult to injury to leave that flag up. Interesting and helpful is that she's a descendent of Jefferson Davis, and should have a strong attachment to it, but it seems her affection for Sen. Pinkney and his family is greater.
And she's a Republican.
Hope our President gives her a call......
