governor nikki haley flinkcky halilley flanked by two past governors and some of the victims' families as well lined the steps of the state house as members of the department of public safety detail walked up -- excuse me marched up to the pole and took it down. and right now we can tell you that the flag itself is in the confederate relic museum. it is about six blocks from where we stand. but as the flag came down roughly 9, 10,000 people lined the streets here. some of them openly weeping. some of them singing. some folks chanting, as well. the chants before the flag came down were "take it down take it down." the chants after the flag was down, "usa usa." governor nikki haley this morning spoke exclusionvely to matt lauer on "today." >> no one should ever drive by the state house and feel pain
