RALEIGH, N.C. — The North Carolina Republican Party has apologized to the Democratic vice presidential nominee for mocking him for wearing what it thought was a lapel pin of the Honduran flag.

The pin was in fact a symbol worn by families of military service members and was worn by Kaine during his acceptance speech Wednesday at the Democratic National Convention. His son is deployed with the U.S. Marines.

The party tweet said the pin was "shameful." It was later deleted.

Much ado about nothing SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL
It is bizarre that people are focusing on lapel pins when there are so many serious issues this nation is facing.
Hopefully the world's new purveyors are going through Hillary Rodham Clinton's emails that WikiLeaks released and that assessments are being made of the damage to our credibility as a nation.
I also hope that real issues will be discussed soon between Hillary and Donald. Open mike night might be a nice idea for those discussions. :-)
