On the convention floor: Delegate Dawn Gilbert sports her lobster hat. Politicker photo.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Delegate Dawn Gilbert has gotten her fair share of attention at the Republican National Convention this week.
She wanted a hat to wear, so a friend decked out a Dr. Seus hat with a boat on one side, a basket of blueberries and a lobster on top.
She has been interviewed by several news outlets, including some individuals from the Republic of Georgia.
Across the floor was the Texas delegation, who waved their cowboy hats in sync. She stopped by.
“Well boys,” she said she told them, “how’s this for a hat?”
“Now that’s a real hat,” she said one of them said.
