The Dems equate this image with Northam's behavior but the group that displayed this flag at the early 90s event was a chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans (SCV), a non-political national charitable non-profit comprised of direct descendants of Confederate Vets. History buffs, not racists..

Both Democrats and Republicans, Black & White, comprise the membership of this group. Up until 2017, the chief of heritage operations for the SCV was former Democratic Congressman from Georgia, Ben Jones. He played "Cooter" on the television series "The Dukes of Hazzard."

This letter from Ben Jones defending the SCV after a PC veterans group returned their donation to help find companion and service dogs for military veterans tells you everything you need to know about the group. But NPC Dems see a confederate flag and immediately cry racism.
