"So it begins. The great battle of our time."

State Senator Lee Bright will fight the 'Stalinist purge' of the Confederate flag
<snip>
For State Rep. Donna Hicks, R-Spartanburg, now is the time for the flag to be removed from the Statehouse grounds. Hicks said she supports the governor's call to have the flag removed and agrees that it should be placed in a museum because the flag's symbol has been used in “so many incidents of hate.”

Haley also has support from State Rep. Derham Cole, R-Spartanburg, to have the flag removed.

Bright has the brains of a brick. You know how some people are called the conscience of the so and so. Bright is the Sphincter of the SC Senate.

His name is an oxymoron. However, others in that area support taking it down.
Now we will see the backlash. I have no idea how large it will be but it won't be pretty. The toads are emerging.

The legislature is in session next week to consider Haley's budget vetoes. If they don't take it up then, she has said she will call a special session.
