Sons Of Confederate Veterans: Removing The Flag Not The Answer

 CHARLESTON, SC — The Sons of Confederate Veterans says the church shooting suspect got exactly what he wanted: a race war.

They say the Confederate flag is at the center of that battle.  Lawmakers in South Carolina reconvene on Monday, and are expected to take up the issue of whether to remove the Stars and Bars from the State House grounds.

The Commander of the Sons of Confederate Veterans says that is not the answer.

“We played right into his malicious hands,” said Leland Summers of the SCV.  “He has been given the race war that he desired.”

The Sons of Confederate Veterans say if lawmakers approve taking down the flag, they will fight it, but have not given any specifics.
