Michigan State Sen. Dale Zorn Apologizes For Face Mask That Looked Like Confederate Flag
Michigan State Sen. Dale Zorn (R) apologized on social media for wearing a face mask on the Senate floor Friday that appeared to depict the Confederate flag.
“I’m sorry for my choice of pattern on the face mask I wore yesterday on the Senate floor. I did not intend to offend anyone; however, I realize that I did, and for that I am sorry. Those who know me best know that I do not support the things this pattern represents,” Zorn tweeted Saturday.
He added, “My actions were an error in judgment for which there are no excuses and I will learn from this episode.”
In an interview with WLNS, Zorn said his wife made the face mask for him and it was not a Confederate flag. He added, however, that even if it was a Confederate flag, it is a piece of history and there should be more education around the “atrocities that happened during that time” to prevent it from recurring.
