The white supremacist Ku Klux Klan has received approval from South Carolina officials to hold a pro-Confederate flag rally at the state capitol, a newspaper reported on Monday, less than two weeks after a white man shot dead nine people in a black church.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has called for the flag’s removal, and told the Post and Courier that she did not endorse the Klan’s planned rally. Budget and Control Board spokesman Brian Gaines told the Post and Courier newspaper that space to demonstrate was provided at the site when not already reserved.
An answering machine for the South Carolina chapter referred to the Assasin Roof as a “warrior,” according to the Post and Courier.
