SC Legislator Hands Out Confederate Christmas Cards A lawmaker in South Carolina — yes, the same South Carolina where 9 innocent people were killed by a Confederate flag-weilding racist psycho — just handed out Christmas cards to his counterparts featuring the stars and bars waiving high on the grounds of the Statehouse, referencing “memories of a happier time” and chastising his republican counterparts for the “betrayal” they committed by voting to remove the flag from the premises. Via The Charlotte Observer : A South Carolina lawmaker has sent out a Christmas card featuring a photo of the Confederate flag that refers to “memories of a happier time” and suggests those who voted to remove the flag from in front of the Statehouse ask God for forgiveness for their “betrayal.” Rep. Chris Corley said Thursday that he sent the cards to his Republican colleagues as a joke. He says he sent a card with a photo of his children to others. The card displays a photo of the flag when it still flew in front of the Statehouse. Lawmakers voted in July to remove the banner in response to the fatal shooting of nine black parishioners in a Charleston church. The suspect in the shooting was seen in photos posing with the Confederate flag. SMH. So what was the joke exactly?? Because this guy being ignorant and insensitive seems pretty serious to us…
