BLM/CONFEDERATE FLAG: [Catherine Herridge: “President Trump, back in 2015, you said the Confederate battle flag belongs in a museum. Do you still believe that?”] “All I say is freedom of speech. It’s very simple. My attitude is freedom of speech. Very strong views on the Confederate flag. With me, it’s freedom of speech. Very simple. Like it, don’t like it. It’s freedom of speech…

I know people that like the Confederate flag and they’re not thinking about slavery. I look at NASCAR, you go to NASCAR, you had those flags all over the place. They stopped it. I just think it’s freedom of speech, whether it’s Confederate flags or Black Lives Matter or anything else you wanna talk about. It’s freedom of speech.”
