Former Clinton advisor Paul Begala told CNN’s Chris Cuomo Tuesday morning that Hillary Clinton “absolutely” has to answer for standing by her husband when he served as governor of Arkansas and defended that state’s flag’s relationship to the Confederate battle flag.
“Does she have to answer for her time as first lady in Arkansas with Bill standing by the Arkansas flag proudly when it, too, is said to borrow from the Confederate symbology?” Cuomo said.
“Well, sure, absolutely,” said Begala. “Times change. Circumstances change.” Watch the video below:
Begala added he is “really thrilled” that South Carolina appears likely to remove the Confederate flag from a war memorial on the state capitol grounds in Columbia.
“This is a completely different country than it was twenty or thirty years ago,” he said.
