ABC News: The Man in the Pink Turban: Navroop Mitter Stood Out Behind President Obama at White House Event

On any given day, at any given political event, there are likely to be people standing behind a politician giving a speech. They’re supposed to give a “real people” feel to a campaign event or policy speech, and we’re so used to them that we barely pay attention to them any more.

But you couldn’t help but pay attention to Navroop Mitter, who stood between President Obama and Vice President Biden at an event Tuesday in Washington. Mitter was the one in the bright pink turban. “It has cultural significance in Punjab, but here at home in the States, frankly, I needed something that matched the tie,” said Mitter, reached today by phone.

ABC News found Mitter through Twitter. He responded when this reporter wondered in a tweet who was the gentleman in the turban. And Twitter was how the White House found Mitter. The White House Office of Social Engagement had asked supporters how an extension of the payroll tax cut – about $40 per paycheck – would help them.

Mitter’s tweet suggested he could buy a paycheck’s worth of coffee for $40. “One cup a day from Starbucks,” he said today. “That’s about five bucks.” Late last week he got a direct message on Twitter from a White House staffer inviting him to the event.
