On the June 24 edition of Hannity, National Review’s Mark Steyn was invited to the program to discuss the notion in much of the media that the Confederate flag is a Republican problem. Steyn slammed the history of the Democratic Party as one filled with hate: “The Democratic Party was the largest and most powerful institution supporting slavery in the English speaking world.”

He added that the “slave states were Democrat states, the racist states until the 1960s were Democrat states” and suggested the flag should be the Democratic Party’s responsibility. Later in the segment, Steyn pointed out that the Democratic Party has been unwilling to recognize the ugliness of their past: “The Democratic Party has never come to terms with the evil of its past, the idea – it was a party committed to the proposition that one human being could own another human being. And they've never – they've never said a word about that.”
