Rep. Behind Confederate Flag Vote: GOP Leadership Asked Me To Do It

"The amendment offered last night to the Interior and Environment Appropriations bill was brought to me by Leadership at the request of some southern Members of the Republican Caucus," he said in a statement obtained by TPM.

Republicans including Calvert called the vote on Wednesday evening after the House passed amendments to the Interior spending bill on Tuesday that restricted the display of the Confederate flags on federal land.

Calvert said that his amendement would have simply "codified existing National Park Service policy set by the Obama administration," to make sure the flag could still be displayed in a "historical and educational context."

"The intent of the Leadership's amendment was to clear up any confusion and maintain the Obama administration's policies with respect to those historical and educational exceptions," he said.

Calvert concluded by saying "I regret not conferring with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle."

They are such scum.

Apparently, since it just codified the existing policy under Obama, they think Obozo is scum.....

I think we can come to an agreement on that.
