Open palm, insert face

- Dana Ferguson

In a face palm of protest, one South Dakota Republican said with his body language what others may have been thinking.

Amid cheers from South Dakota delegates announcing that the state’s 29 delegates would support Donald Trump, state Rep. Isaac Latterell rolled his eyes and clamped his hand over his face Tuesday night.

“I just think that it’s a sad day for the Republican Party,” he said.

Latterell isn’t alone in his disdain for the party’s nominee. Delegates from half a dozen states tried to unbind their votes on the convention’s opening day.
