ICYMI - Trump says Confederate flag proud symbol of U.S. South and 'freedom of speech'
Former Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell, who last month endorsed Democrat Joe Biden in the November election, said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” the Confederate flag represents something that was never the United States of America.
“It was the Confederate States of America. They were not part of us and this is not the time to keep demonstrating who they were and what they were back then,” said Powell, who is Black. “This is time to move on. Let’s get going. We have one flag and only one flag only.”
