A moment between George W. Bush and Michelle Obama during John McCain’s funeral has recently picked up fresh attention online after Bush finally explained what really happened.
During a conversation with his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, for a TODAY special, Bush cleared up the mystery behind the now-viral clip that had people guessing for years.
“I get a little antsy, as I’m sure you know. And I was sitting next to Michelle, that’s who I sit next to at funerals,” he joked, according to UNILAD, referencing the standard protocol that pairs former presidents with former first ladies at official events.
According to Bush, the moment wasn’t nearly as dramatic as the internet made it out to be.
“I was kinda teasing her and stuff, and I slipped her an Altoid. Not as a joke, but I thought she might want one,” he said, revealing that the object passed between them was simply a mint.
