South Carolina to Donate Confederate Flag to Somber Black Church
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA (The Nil Admirari): South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley (R) announced this morning her state was donating a Confederate flag "just like the one outside our state house" to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Haley also said she would never stop searching for the sources of hate that resulted in nine worshipers being shot and killed on Wednesday night at the church.

Haley added, "So I gift this Confederate flag and a flag pole to put it on as a reminder that all of South Carolina is behind the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church and its congregation."
