A union stagehand was apparently "let go" after he refused to remove the USS GHWB hat and sweatshirt he was wearing in honor of his son's service on the carrier.
The stagehand was woking on a stage set up for President Obama.

Because it's reported on the internet it must be true eh ?
The guy was asked to go home from the event because it's unprofessional to wear any logos other than event crew or IATSE shirt. Unless he was new to the industry, being sent home shouldn't have been any surprise.
Jesus, do some fact checking once in a while. Nothing to see here people, or does the unlying resentment of the democrat in the WH need stoking once in a while ?

P.S. A incumbent member of the House doesn't think 24 years of military service is "public service"
His opponent is a retired ARMY LT.COL.
