WEST COLUMBIA, S.C. — Nearly two weeks after canceling a campaign event scheduled the morning after the deadly attack on a South Carolina church, Jeb Bush on Monday called the Confederate battle flag a “racist” symbol, reflecting the new Republican normal in a Southern primary state vastly altered by the racially motivated killings.

The flag was one of “the symbols that have divided the South in many ways, the symbols that were used in most recent modern history, perhaps not at the beginning of the time, but the symbols were racist,” Mr. Bush told an interracial crowd of about 200 people at a $300 million pharmaceuticals facility here.

“And if you are trying to lean forward rather than live in the past, you are trying to eliminate the barriers that create disagreements, and so I did,” he said, explaining his decision as the governor of Florida to move the Confederate flag from the Capitol grounds to a museum

He then applauded Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina “for doing more or less the exact same thing under a lot of pressure.”

I will admit one thing: The Moderates and the Establishment are willing to accept the past of Southern Conservatism

So Jeb Bush is using big government Marxist catch phrases now?
