    So I decided to look up the article, and see what the defense was.

    Here’s the article: https://www.mediaite.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/Screen-Shot-2019-09-19-at-16.04.33.jpg

    And indeed, it does seem to be a Vetements piece he’s wearing. I could not however find the exact outfit, but those are the Georgian designer’s signature, in Georgian letters, which can be compared here:

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demna_(designer)

    In looking through some videos from that era, he is wearing multiple articles of clothing from Vetements which tracks. So it’s not a one off piece of clothing he was wearing from that company.

    As for the cross, it is a design used in Georgia, including on their traditional flags:

    And it is known as a Bolnisi Cross

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolnisi_cross

    And can even be found in ancient Georgian architecture, specifically with a circle around it:

    It is similar to the German iron cross, except the iron cross always has white or iron bolding, which the Bolnisi Cross does not

    (You can compare them in these search results: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=fpas&q=german+iron+cross&ia=images&iax=images)

      PewDiePie’s PR machine got you so good you’re defending a multimillionaire for his BS.

        Nah, I just actually look up claims rather than taking them at face value, and live in Europe.
