Bill Clinton wears Hebrew 'Hillary' lapel pin
Former president received pin from aide and reportedly wore it in response to the burning of Israel's flag outside the Democratic National Convention by Sanders supporters.
PHILADELPHIA—Former US President Bill Clinton cheered on curent President Barack Obama during the latter's speech at the Democratic National Convention on Wednesday, wearing quite a unique decoration on his lapel—a "Hillary" pin in Hebrew.
According to reports in the US, one of the former president's aides, Steve Rabinovich, gave him the pin and he wore it as a response to the burning of an Israeli flag outside the convention the previous day by supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders, who protested the fact the former candidate declared his support of Hillary Clinton.
"I gave the pin to my former boss at an event held this afternoon at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. He said he would wear it, but I didn't know whether to believe him or not," Rabinovich said.
Rabinovich said that the chairman of the National Jewish Democratic Council, Marc Stanley, also gave the former president such a pin.
