During Sunday's edition of Last Week Tonight, John Oliver made it pretty clear how he feels about the Confederate flag....and just exactly what it should be used for.

In response to South Carolina still flying the symbol outside of its capitol building, especially after nine African-American churchgoers were gunned down by a white assailant this past week, Oliver suggested the best possible use for the old Stars and Bars. "The Confederate flag is one of those symbols that should really only be seen on T-shirts, belt buckles and bumper stickers to help the rest of us identify the worst people in the world," he said.
