Iowa Republican Party Chair ‘Disgusted’ By Man Displaying Confederate Flag In Parade

http://freakoutnation.com/2015/07/iowa-republican-party-chair-disgusted-by-man-displaying-confederate-flag-in-parade/

Iowa was not a Confederate state and it’s not in the South but Owen Golay took it upon himself to display Confederate Flags on his truck that pulled the Marion County Republican Party float in the Fourth of July parade. Even the chair of the Iowa Republican Party is ‘disgusted’ by his actions....

“I’m embarrassed. I’m disgusted. I shake my head, and I am absolutely more resolved than I have ever been that I will not tolerate this,” said Republican Party of Iowa Chairman Jeff Kaufmann.

Kaufmann went on to say that the Confederate flag has no place in Iowa.

“We can’t allow idiocy, and extremes and philosophies that are so far out of the mainstream they are laughable,” Kaufmann said.
