"...days on the phone with CEOs to create jobs in this state. I can honestly say, I have not had one conversation about the confederate flag....

That is not ever an accurate point of view. It is a political point of view so she doesn't estrange the bigoted racists in her state. 

Why would a CEO even think to discuss the confederate flag? I can't help but wonder if the CEOs knew there was a confederate flag over the South Carolina state house; how they would decide their involvement in South Carolina. I think Governor Haley was very coy in not disclosing that fact. 

Regardless, that flag hurts people. It needs to come down.
