As a divisive symbol in the state. We dont need any more talking. All the points have been made. The governor has spoken. The flag ought to come down. So this at the same time lawmakers are prepping to start a special session to pass the stayed budget. They are expected to vote on whether to add the flag issue to the agenda. Long time charleston mayor joe riley has led the fight to remove the flag for several years, dating back to 2000. He led a march from columbia to charleston calling for it to be removed from the dome. The flag was moved from the dome to another place on the Capitol Grounds and he spoke with my colleague Andrea Mitchell last hour. The flag is going to be moved. Its unfortunate that such a horrific tragic event is the reason, but its going to go. Its going to go in a museum. Nbcs krigcraig melvin has been following this story in Columbia South carolina.
