The next time Democratic Florida Rep. Joe Garcia is sitting behind someone speaking on C-SPAN, he might want to avoid taking care of personal hygiene issues out of the view of the camera.
Last week during a House Judiciary Committee broadcast, Garcia picked at his ear, examined his finger, then put it in his mouth.
Garcia disputes that he was eating his earwax — he said he was taking care of a hangnail.
Naturally, he took to Twitter yesterday to plead his case. He also dragged his mother into it.
My mom always told me to keep my fingers out of my mouth, and now I know why. #hangnail #ithappens #camerasrolling
