Thursday, July 18, 2024 - Republican supporters and delegates have started showing support for Donald Trump by sporting fake ear bandages on their ears “in solidarity” with the former US President, who recently survived an assassination attempt.
Gunman, Thomas Crooks opened fire at Trump's rally Saturday,
injuring the former president on his right ear and k!lling Corey Comperatore,
50. Two others were injured: David Dutch, 57, and James Copenhaver, 74, both of
whom are now in stable condition. Investigators are still working to uncover a
motive for the shooting.
Agents found him in their sights and one pulled the trigger
seconds after the 20-year-old fired shots.
Trump surprised audiences at the Republican National
Convention on Monday by making his first public appearance since the shooting,
where he greeted supporters while wearing a white bandage wrapped around his
ear.
On the second night of the convention, delegates and
attendees were photographed wearing makeshift "bandages" from
folded-up slips of paper to pieces of tape on their right ears to showcase
their solidarity with Trump.
Arizona delegate Joe Neglia was one of the first people
photographed wearing the ear bandage during the second night of the convention.
Neglia told CBS News he folded up an envelope
"on the bus on the way here" to wear on his right ear.
“This is the newest fashion trend. I’m getting this going. Everybody in the world is going to be wearing these pretty soon," Neglia said.
