Rep. Jenny Horne speaking on the Confederate Flag on the floor of the SC House
On Wednesday in South Carolina, 27 Republicans did all they could to derail a vote to remove the Confederate flag from the front of its state capitol. In what should have been a relatively clear up and down vote, 68 different amendments were presented and the debate ended up stretching past 1 AM.
Late in the debate, Republican Rep. Jenny Horne, a descendant of Confederate president Jefferson Davis, came to the microphone and gave one of the most impassioned and most sincere speeches you will ever hear.
