CBS Interviews RNC Delegate With Fake Bandage on His Ear: ‘This Is the Newest Fashion Trend’

CBS News interviewed a Republican National Convention (RNC) delegate with a fake bandage on his ear in imitation of former President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

“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,” said CBS News senior political correspondent Ed O’Keefe during the network’s live coverage of the RNC on Tuesday evening.

O’Keefe then introduced Arizona delegate Joe Neglia , who could be seen wearing a fake bandage on his ear similar to the bandage Trump wore to the RNC following the failed assassination attempt against him on Saturday.

Asked why he was wearing the fake bandage, Neglia replied, “This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon. 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?” asked O’Keefe.

Neglia replied, “No, I folded it up on the bus on the way here.”

Several attendees at the RNC were spotted wearing fake bandages after Trump sported a bandage on his own ear, just days after he was shot in a failed assassination attempt which killed one man and injured several others.
