State Sen. Chris McDaniel (R-MS) defended the Sons of Confederate Veterans, an organization whose events he has attended, as singly focused on historical appreciation and not “racist.”
“We’re talking about an organization that our governor is a member of, that in the past that our senators have been members of, that many members of our House and Senate are members of,” McDaniel said in an interview with The Weekly Standard published on Friday. “It’s not a racist organization. It’s a historical organization filled with reenactors and collectors. That’s all it is.”
