President Biden's purple tie - anyone have an idea why he's worn it past several days?

He's wearing it now as i'm watching him speak on social justice. Much as i like it i'd prefer to see him wear blue or red time, or a red-white-blue tie.

Updated PURPOSE to PURPLE

I used to love the color red, but it will be a long time before I won't have a visceral reaction to it. I'll always associate it with Trump and idiot MAGAs.

we're just getting started with this crap. I guess if either Barack or Joe had just put children in

And a floor-length cloak festooned with peacock feathers, a white cowboy hat and a jeweled, monogrammed belt buckle, he's welcome to it. He hasn't lost a shred of dignity.

Thanks for asking about the purple tie! When the first ladies wore purple at the Inauguration, I associated it with power. But the answers you're getting make sense!

Biden is quite the honorable man and so humble. kind, empathetic, & the most capable to lead us thru this very tough time. We are so lucky to have him. Whatever they throw at him won't stick.

Re: all the ladies in shades of purple (and white) in deed there was Purple Reign at the inauguration loved their high fashions! Even the Biden girls looked amazing!

you prefer only "blue or red time, or a red-white-blue tie"? How dull!

I'd like to see Biden wear a wide range of colors and patterns. I'm not big on men in jewelry, but for a classy wristwatch. And I LOVE a nice tie.

cool. shows he's representing both tribes.

By the way, Qanon thinks the color purple is an evil Soros signal.

These people are so effed up.
