2. He wasn't familiar with the "Appeal to Heaven" flag's meaning in relation to the 2020 election, but he doesn't say the same about the upside-down American flag.

3. His wife, who also allegedly didn't know the significance, didn't fly it to associate with any group. And that a group's use of a flag, he claims, doesn't drain it of all other meaning.
