Mississippi Republican Lawmakers Vote to Remove State's Flag

Pathetic. And the Mississippi State House of Representatives is comprised of 45 Democrats, 2 Independents AND 74 REPUBLICANS.

But hey, at least the @MSGOP will totally protect your family, Second Amendment and religious liberty against the whims of wealthy out-of-staters, right? https://t.co/RmUDEkvc5y

The legislature has been deadlocked for days as it considers a new state flag. The argument over the 1894 flag has become as divisive as the flag itself and it’s time to end it.

Mississippi Senate votes 37-14 to remove the current state flag. The flag has already been taken down in Jackson. Mississippians will vote on the new state flag in November. pic.twitter.com/k3UvubnUKV

Weird that this article from NBC News neglects to name the party responsible for passage of this measure. GOP dominates the Mississippi House 74-45 and the Senate 36-16, and the governor is a Republican. Yet the GOP never appears in this article. Odd. https://t.co/i5RvM0sPcR
