CNN's Chris Cuomo zeroed in on five state flags that have supposed "strong Confederate references" on the 23 June 2015 edition of New Day. Cuomo cited unnamed experts on flags and symbols who claim that the state flags of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Tennessee – along with that of Mississippi and Georgia (which incorporate two different Confederate flags) have such "references." He later wondered, "Do all of these flags have to go? Does each deserve separate consideration? Is there a 'too far' involved with something like this?"
