Well...I am shocked, shocked, shocked!

The guy in the purple tie (and since when is purple an appropriate color tie for a politician???) is NOT wearing a little jeweled American flag in his lapel...I have magnified the photo - he is wearing some other emblem but NOT a little American flag.

We all learned a couple of years ago that failing to wear a tiny bit of jewelry in the model of an American flag PROVES the politician is a commie/solicalist/anti-American/marxist.

So WHO is this guy?

(and yes, the veep is also missing his jewelry in the shape of an American flag - he probably left it on his pjs...)
