Sunday letters: Rep Quinn tried to deceive us on Confederate flag

How in the world was Rep. Rick Quinn allowed to stand directly behind Gov. Nikki Haley at the news conference where she congratulated lawmakers for passing the bill to take down the Confederate flag? This Lexington lawmaker proposed at least one of the amendments that would have delayed the flag’s removal, possibly for months.

I also noticed he voted at the very last second against stopping debate on certain amendments (I’m sure after he saw which way the vote was going). Guess he wanted his constituents to think he was voting their way, but really didn’t want to stop the effort to bring the flag down. I’m sure glad he’s not my representative.
