U.S. House pulls bill over Confederate flag flap
USA Today: WASHINGTON — House GOP leaders were forced Thursday to pull a spending bill from the floor after an amendment regarding the display of the Confederate flag sparked a swift and angry backlash from Democrats.
"House Republicans want to keep the Confederate flag — and all that it stands for — flying high," said Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., one of a number of Democrats who took to the floor late Wednesday and early Thursday to denounce Republicans with accusations of racism.
