If you watched any of the 2024 Republican National Convention (a.k.a. GOP Nuremberg rally) on Tuesday evening, you may have noticed that many delegates were wearing bandages on their right ear, a sign of loyalty to convicted felon Donald Trump, who survived an assassination attempt over the weekend during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
According to Newsweek, “Arizona delegate Joe Neglia, 63, told CBS News that the prop, which he said he made on the bus to the convention, was an homage to the Republican nominee. He called it ‘the newest fashion trend.'”
“It’s just in sympathy with Donald Trump,” Neglia told U.K. newspaper The Guardian. “I saw that man get shot. I thought that man has almost given his life for his country. He deserves some respect for that.”
It didn’t take long before the mockery began on social media.
