Southern Republicans tried to sneak an amendment into the annual spending bill that would have allowed Confederate flags to fly in federally run cemeteries ...
on the same day South Carolina decided to remove the confederate flag from its state capitol!!! If there was still any doubt in anybody's minds that southern Republicans are all scumbags, this should have removed it. Thankfully, the GOP yanked the entire spending bill after their scumbaggery was exposed by house Democrats.
