Nikki Haley: Confederate Flag Was About 'Heritage' Until Dylann Roof 'Hijacked' It
Roof, a white supremacist, posed with the flag in photos before killing nine worshippers in a historically Black church.
Snippet:
Continuing, she then asserted that, until the 2015 massacre, the flag — which many associate with the legacy of slavery — represented “service and sacrifice and heritage,” but that after Roof’s murders, “there was no way to overcome it.”
While the flag is defended as a symbol of Southern pride in some states, it is also embraced as a tribute to the “lost cause” of the Civil War, was waved at Ku Klux Klan lynchings, and used as a sign of resistance against desegregation.
After the Charleston shooting, photos surfaced of Roof posing with Confederate flags, and his racist screed confirmed that the violence was committed in the name of white supremacy.
But Haley suggested the media reported on the killings with an agenda, arriving “in droves” with a predetermined narrative.
“They wanted to define what happened,” she told Beck. “They wanted to make this about racism, they wanted to make it about gun control, they wanted to make it about [the] death penalty.”
