ABC News is reporting on its investigation of the gift shops in Washington, DC's Smithsonian museums. Apparently, the various trinkets and bits of Americana sold there are actually stamped "Made in China." This includes the miniature sculptures of presidents sold at the National Museum of American History, located right on the Mall in the nation's capital.
Last month Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) wrote a letter demanding that the museum sell products made in the USA.
