https://americanindependent.com/tate-reeves-confederate-history-month-mississippi-governor-coronavirus-gop-covid-19/Gov. Tate Reeves is facing criticism over his slow response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves quietly signed a proclamation on Friday designating April "Confederate Heritage Month."
Reeves is currently facing heavy criticism over his delayed response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Reeves' proclamation was posted by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, according to a report on Sunday by the Jackson Free Press, but did not appear to be publicized elsewhere. His office did not immediately respond to an inquiry about the designation.
