Nikki Haley weirdly smiled and grinned all throughout signing South Carolina's bill to bring down the Confederate flag

Nikki Haley, Governor of South Carolina, finally signed a bill into law yesterday that would bring down the Confederate Flag flying in front of the state’s capitol. The move came after weeks of public demand for the flag’s removal following the tragic murder of nine black churchgoers at the hands of Dylan Roof, a white supremacist who considered the flag to be a symbol for his cause.

Though the much-needed move was lauded by many members of the public, Haley’s demeanor at the signing seemed distinctly off. Specifically, She inappropriately smiled and grinned throughout the entire thing, in stark contrast to the solemn faces surrounding her. Just look:
