What I'm saying, Tide, is that she can't support the removal of the Confederate Flag and leave the memorial to Ben "Pitchfork" Tillman on the Statehouse Grounds w/o being a hypocrite. Maybe it has a little something to do with the fact that she is, very vocally, all about Clemson...who happens to have their main building named after this same man.


Yeah I remember this being a big deal, but didn't Clemson's BOT vote on keeping it? I'm sure it would've pissed off a lot of alumni if the governor suddenly mandated the renaming of school buildings. I'm sure many Carolina alumni would feel the same way if a USC grad who was governor wanted to rename a building.
And yeah I agree Ben Tillman was a god awful man.

Maybe it has nothing to do with her ties to Clemson at all and it's my Garnet and Black hatred of all things purple and orange...very possible.


This might have something to do with it too.
