Carlos Curbelo Cheers South Carolina for Removing Confederate Flag

At the end of last week, U.S. Rep. Carlos Curbelo, R-Fla., applauded South Carolina for removing the Confederate battle flag from the statehouse grounds. 

“The removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina’s Capitol is symbolic of America turning the page on a divisive era in our nation’s history,” Curbelo said on Friday. “I applaud Gov. Haley for her leadership in bringing this sensitive subject to the forefront, and hope that governments at all levels will follow South Carolina’s example.”
