Mitt Romney Assures Voters That He Washes His Hands Regularly To Avoid Getting Germs On Campaign Trail
When political candidates run for office, one of the most important parts of the campaign is approaching the American people, looking them in the eyes, and shaking their hands. But unfortunately, we don’t know where everybody’s hands have been. And this poses a problem for germaphobic politicians. So during a forum one of the candidates held over the weekend, an attendee asked how frequently hands are washed on the busy campaign trail.
Mitt Romney has been campaigning in South Carolina in anticipation of the state’s January 21st primary. On Friday, he spoke in Hilton Head, and was asked by someone in the room how many hands he shakes and how many times he washes his hands on the campaign trail.
“You’ll be happy to hear that I do wash my hands regularly so that as I shake your hand today you won’t have to worry if the germs I got earlier today in Florida are going to be coming to South Carolina.”
Romney also mentioned he uses Purell to make sure he doesn’t transfer any potential germs between supporters. And if he really does wash his hands frequently, Romney is actually more aware of when to wash one’s hands than many U.S. medical students.
