A former U.S. senator says he is told to cover up a T-shirt during a visit to Scotland’s parliament in Holyrood after staff or officials reportedly viewed the shirt’s design as having political meaning. The claim is that the instruction was linked to how the design was interpreted rather than to any other conduct during the tour.
The report frames the episode around the visibility of a flag-style graphic on the T-shirt and the reaction it prompted inside the parliament. However, with only this account provided here, details such as who delivered the request, what specifically was said, and whether any formal complaint or clarification followed are not included. The coverage emphasizes the senator’s perspective on being asked to change clothing and the idea that the design could be read as a political message.
