    It was not a Confederate flag," he said. "I think even if it was a Confederate flag, you know, we should be talking about teaching our national history in schools. And that’s part of our national history, and it’s something we can’t just throw away because it is part of our history. And if we want to make sure that the atrocities that happened during that time doesn’t happen again, we should be teaching it. Our kids should know what that flag stands for.”
    When asked by a reporter what the flag stands for, Zorn replied, "the Confederacy."

    I never boo the racists

    "It's not a Confederate flag, but if it was it totally would've been fine. But it wasn't, so don't twist."

    He was wearing it sarcastically. He clearly didn’t mean to wear it.
