North Carolina declined to participate in this debacle. Our Democratic governor said no and our Republican state legislature refused to appropriate funds. It was a bipartisan rebuke.

So NASCAR and some other businesses stepped in to fund the booth. I am not surprised to hear that the booth features the Confederate flag.
