You have come at me with hatred and oppression and violence. I am coming against you in the name of God. This flag is coming down today."  [6] [7] [8] As he lowers the flag and descends to the waiting police, he announces that he is ready to be arrested.  Both Newsome and a man police said were helping him, James Ian Tyson, were arrested.  Onlookers applauded Newsome's efforts as he was handcuffed.  To be led, he recited the third and 23rd blessings.  The flag was raised again 45 minutes later

Several days after his arrest, Newsome released a statement to Blue Nation Review revealing what motivated him to actAghọtara m na ugbu a bụ oge maka ezi obi ike n'ụtụtụ mgbe Mgbuchapụ Charleston mechara maa jijiji n'ime ndụ m.

 As the presidential candidate spoke at the 2016 Martin Luther King Day celebration in Charleston, Hillary Clinton praised Newsome for taking the matter into her own hands by "raising the flag" as a step in the process.  "Every year, you gather here and say that the symbols of segregation and racism are against everything Dr. King stood for. We can't celebrate him in the Confederacy, we have to choose. South Carolina finally made the right choice.  ."
