The House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved an amendment banning the display of Confederate flags at cemeteries run by the Veterans Administration. The ban was proposed by a California Democrat who called the flag “a hateful symbol.”
Representative Jared Huffman, from California’s North Coast district, put the amendment forward shortly after midnight on Thursday, in the debate over appropriations for military construction and VA programs.
The House Republican leadership – including Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin), Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-California) and Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) – voted in favor of the amendment, according to Politico, though many Republican lawmakers were opposed. It passed with a vote of 265-159.
