Many of the nation’s largest retailers abruptly decided this week to stop selling merchandise tied to the Confederate battle flag. Walmart, Sears, Kmart, eBay, Amazon and Etsy removed Confederate flag items from their online stores.
This comes after racist killer Dylann Storm Roof murdered 9 Christians in the Emanuel AME Church last week.
But Democrats have been using Confederate flags in their campaigns for decades.
Hillary Clinton had Confederate flag campaign pins in 2008.
And Barack Obama had his own Confederate flag campaign pin… in 2012!
The pin says:
“Where the confederate flag still flies, we have built a powerful coalition of African Americans and white Americans”
This line came from Barack Obama’s race speech defending crazy Reverend Wright at the Constitution Center in 2008.
