I wonder what would have happened had he worn a bow tie instead? I mean, rules are rules, but I don't see anything in particular wrong with a bolo tie.
Since when was a bolo tie native to the Cherokee Indian tribe? It may have originated in the Southwest, but the Cherokee originally came from the South- the northern parts of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. They were removed to Oklahoma by Andrew Jackson on what became known as the infamous "Trail of Tears."
I wore a very nice bolo in solidarity on Sunday.
