New Jersey removes Mississippi flag from local park due to Confederate imagery

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) ordered a state park to remove the Mississippi flag due to the fact that it contains Confederate imagery.

In a tweet Friday, Murphy said the Mississippi flag at Liberty State Park would be replaced by the American flag, saying the imagery does not reflect the state's "values."

“The Confederate symbol does not reflect New Jersey’s values of inclusivity and equality,” he wrote.

Why would they?  Like anyone would celebrate NJ.  Maybe they can pull down some no left turn signs?

That’s what jughandles are for.

Anyway, it’s NJ. I hope to be out of here in 5-10 years. And moving somewhere, Any where but not Florida or California. Leaning towards a cold state. Alaska?
