Delegates at this week’s Republican National Convention are sporting an unusual accessory — fake ear bandages.
The new fashion statement for the GOP has been seen throughout the convention held this week in Milwaukee.
CBS News interviewed one such bandage-clad delegate Tuesday, per Mediaite.
“We’re tracking all sorts of things – among other things, the fashion of the delegates – and I want to point out the latest trend that we spotted,” CBS News senior political correspondent Ed O’Keefe said.
Enter Arizona delegate Joe Neglia, who was wearing a fake bandage — a folded envelope — to honor former President Donald Trump.
Trump, 78, has worn a real bandage since an Assassination Attempt at a rally Saturday in Butler, Pennsylvania, when a bullet grazed his ear.
Neglia explained his new accessory.
“This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon,” he said. “It’s the latest thing. My wife calls me and tells me I dress like an engineer, but I’m setting new fashion ground here.”
“And you just made this in your hotel room today with an envelope, or what?” O’Keefe asked.
“No, I folded it up on the bus on the way here,” Neglia said.
