McGovern Courage 1980

South Dakota Senator and former presidential candidate George McGovern was targeted by the Republican National Committee in 1980. McGovern didn't go down without a fight, which included this rare 3-inch celluloid that highlighted McGovern's courage. He ended up losing to James Abdnor and became one of the casualties of the Reagan Revolution. First time we recall offering this pin. Excellent condition.
