In South Carolina on Monday, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said the Confederate flag is “racist” symbol.
When he was Florida’s governor in 2001, Bush ordered a flag with a Confederate flag symbol in the corner be removed from Florida’s Capitol grounds. At Monday’s campaign event, Bush said he decided then “to do something politically incorrect.”
“The symbols were racist,” Bush reportedly said. “If you’re trying to lean forward rather than live in the past, you want to eliminate the barriers that create disagreements.”
