What Is With This Michigan Republican’s Confederate Coronavirus Mask Apology? (Goes to Wonkette)

On Friday, Michigan State Senator Dale Zorn showed up to a Senate vote in the Capitol wearing what was very obviously a Confederate flag face mask and could easily be recognized as such by anyone who had ever seen one. And people noticed.

At first, when confronted about the obvious Confederate flag mask he was wearing on his face, Sen. Zorn explained that his wife made the mask for him and that she told him it was more like the Kentucky state flag or the Tennessee state flag, despite bearing no resemblance to either of those things.

The Kentucky state flag is blue and features two guys shaking hands, and thus looks nothing at all like the Confederate flag, which has no guys shaking hands on it at all.
