Dan Abrams pinned one of his guests last night. Rep. Jack Kingston was on to discuss his questioning of Sen. Barack Obama‘s patriotism.

During the interview, Abrams noticed the congressman was not wearing a flag pin either.
Abrams: “You’re not wearing a lapel pin, are you?”
Kingston: “I will wear one and I have worn one, but I’m not making a statement about it.”
