HBO's John Oliver blasts South Carolina for flying Confederate flag at the state house
Add John Oliver to the growing number of people who want South Carolina to remove the Confederate flag from the state house."
* Oliver began his show by pointing out little has been done to address gun control laws despite a number of high profile mass killings. So he, like many other people this past week, focused on a "symbol" that represents the racist attitudes in the South that may have contributed to this tragedy.
Oliver suggested South Carolina and other states that fly the flag immediately take it down.
He also suggested where they could put it."
"Fold it, or don't bother, put it in a box, label it bad flag and put it somewhere no one can see it," he said as his audience cheered. "Just a thought. It's just a simple good thought."
The host said now would be a good time "out of respect not just for the events of this week, but for the events of the past several centuries," he said."
