State Capital in Little Rock, Arkansas, April 15, 2006.
In 2007, Hillary Clinton argued that South Carolina should remove the Confederate Flag from its statehouse grounds:
“I think about how many South Carolinians have served in our military and who are serving today under our flag and I believe that we should have one flag that we all pay honor to, as I know that most people in South Carolina do every single day,” Clinton told The Associated Press in an interview.“I personally would like to see it removed from the Statehouse grounds.”
But when she was First Lady of the State of Arkansas they celebrated Confederate Flag Day each year…
…at the Arkansas capital.
Confederate Flag Day is still going strong in Arkansas just like when the Clintons occupied the governor’s mansion.
In 1987, when her husband was governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton signed Act 116 that stated “The blue star above the word “ARKANSAS” is to commemorate the Confederate States of America.”
