It’s not up to me, it’s up to South Carolina. Republican presidential hopeful Mike
Huckabee says the decision on whether to fly the Confederate flag should be made by state officials. Huckabee stumping in Myrtle Beach, says the Government has no business getting involved in disputes over the flag. He also said that if somebody came to Arkansas and told people what to do with their flag, “we’d tell ‘em what to do with the pole.” The former Arkansas governor didn’t say whether he considers flying the flag to be offensive, which some say is a symbol of racism and others say it shows Southern pride. While I don’t think it’s a good idea to fly a flag that the KKK considers a symbol of pride, I do agree that the National Government should stay out of state affairs unless it is asked to intervene.
