South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) will hold a news conference today at which, sources said, she will call for the Confederate flag to come down from the Statehouse grounds, the Charleston Post and Courier reports.
“The move comes as lawmakers are exploring if the removal can be done legislatively in the coming days, tying their heightened attention to the recent shooting deaths of nine members of the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston.”
The New York Times reports that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) will also call for the Confederate battle flag to be removed from the state’s Capitol.
