Jefferson Davis' Descendant Brings Down the Confederate Flag, Chest and Biceps Workout

South Carolina Republican Representative Jenny Horne got really upset. After the racially motivated mass shooting in Charleston, South Carolina a ground swell of emotion, energy  and support formed to get the Confederate Battle Flag removed from the grounds of the South Carolina Statehouse. But, a small group of Republican lawmakers used the argument that the flag did not represent hate, that it represented their heritage and they were fighting the removal of the flag. Jenny Horne was over it. 

"I have heard enough about heritage, I am a descendant of Jefferson Davis, Okay? But that does not matter. It's not about Jenny Horne. It's about the people of South Carolina who have demanded that this symbol of hate come off of the Statehouse grounds." Among the nine people killed in the shooting rampage was State Senator Clementa Pinckney, a colleague and friend of Jenny Horne's. Tearfully Horne continued. "I cannot believe that we do not have the heart in this body to do something meaningful such as take a symbol of hate off these grounds on Friday! For the widow of Senator Pinckney and his two young daughters, that would be adding insult to injury and I will not be a part of it!"

This morning, the Confederate Battle Flag was removed from the South Carolina Statehouse grounds and placed in a museum. Well done Jenny Horne. Rarely in this day and age do we see politicians do things simply because they are the right thing to do.
