What Is This Lapel Pin Bannon Is Wearing?

[Irene]

In reading the news today I ran across a photo of Steve Bannon wearing an unusual pin on his lapel. Does anyone know what it is?

I did a little searching on the net, and found a similar question with answer in another forum. In Secret Service activity environment, lapel pins are a significant ID piece - like a "pass of the day" for easy identification. Below are pics of the other forum open comments, and a pic of Bannon with a different lapel pin.







Case closed??

Wow, I accidentally posted something interesting.

well bannon is a very conservative catholic so i think the white hexagon may have some connection with that.
he actually thinks the pope is too liberal and is changing the church for the worst..makes me think of the jesuits
but what do i know..



opps
just remembered that  frances is a  Jesuit..so that scratches that one

That lapel pin is actually a Secret Service badge, and depending on the day and the clearances assigned to the individual dictates which one you see them wearing...

makes it easier for the agents to keep them sorted out, especially when a gaggle of MSM want to crowd around and be a nuisance...

i don't think so.. the ss pins are changed  often if not daily
the white hexagon one he has worn  for different occasion  a number of times

I'm not going to argue the point; my info came from a friend that is a US Marshall and former(retired) Secret Service agent that visits the forum as a guest; but that doesn't mean his assessment isn't incorrect...

not trying for an argument  just looking for answers by digging

this is the pin most of the folks are wearing and ss says color of the day with it


but no one else has the white hexagon one..so i continue to question what that one is..can't see it clearly enough to make out the center

The white one looks like it has a gold torch in the center. Interesting that it's a hexagon.
