A Republican lawmaker in Florida has said he filed “in error” an amendment that would allow the flying of the Confederate flag. State Senator Jay Collins shared a statement to Twitter which strongly denied that the retired U.S. Army Green Beret was a “confederate sympathizer.”
Collins had filed in the state senate an amendment, SB 668, that provided a list of flags that would be permitted to be displayed by Florida’s governmental entities, such as counties, special districts, departments and public schools.
The list included the “flag of the Confederate States,” as well as U.S., state, county, and Olympic flags, as well as those of the military and foreign nations, among others.

The Florida House sponsor of the bill is Rep. David Borerro, who appeared on JMG in January 2022 for his successful bill mandating that Florida public schools recognize an annual “Victims Of Communism Day.” Collins [photo], appeared here last month for his bill to legalize no-permit concealed carry.
