Many of the people who wore Auto Workers for Trump shirts at a Republican rally in Detroit on Tuesday were reportedly not autoworkers at all.

At the event, headlined by vice presidential nominee Sen. JD Vance , more than a dozen attendees could be seen wearing the T-shirts. Some of them were stationed in a featured spot behind Vance as he spoke. However, six fessed up that while they did support Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump , they were not actually autoworkers, The Detroit News reported .

Spectators Carl Leonard and Terry Flannery said they were given the shirts by Brian Pannebecker, the founder of Auto Workers for Trump and a former Ford Motor Co. assembly line worker, the News reported. The newspaper has previously described Pannebecker as Trumps go-to Michigan auto worker .
