Ken Bone says red sweater was ‘Plan B’

Ken Bone, whose outfit grabbed attention when he asked an audience question at the second presidential debate, said Monday that the red sweater wasn’t his first choice.

{mosads}”I had a really nice olive suit that I love a great deal, and my mother would have been very proud to see me wearing on television,” Bone said in an interview on CNN.

“But apparently I’ve gained about 30 pounds, and when I went to get in my car the morning of the debate, I split the seat of my pants all the way open,” he continued.

“So the red sweater is Plan B. And I’m glad it worked out.”

Bone asked a question during Sunday night’s presidential debate about energy policy — and quickly became popular on social media.

“I don’t see how I could not have worn the red sweater this morning,” he said at the beginning of the interview.

“It’s more famous than me. I just had to bring myself along.”

Bone, who is still undecided about whom he will vote for, also urged people to cast their ballots in November.

“Even if you feel like your vote does not matter, it does,” Bone said. “Make your voice heard.”
