ABC News, which previously revealed that Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum were selling campaign T-shirts and other gear made outside the United States, has now found two other campaigns selling not-made-in-the-U.S.A. merchandise: Herman Cain and Ron Paul.

“No, I wasn’t aware it was made in Honduras,” Cain said in response. “I was just aware it was Fruit of the Loom … which is an American company.”

Ron Paul did not know, either — but unlike other candidates, he isn’t apologetic about it. “I wasn’t aware of it … but I wouldn’t change it,” said Paul. “I would argue the case that the market should determine it.”
