Many Americans have become more germ-conscious since the start of the coronavirus pandemic last year \u2013 but Vice President Kamala Harris may have made her apparent concerns too conspicuous.<\/p>\n
Harris was caught on camera Friday immediately wiping her right hand on her jacket after shaking hands with South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House.<\/p>\n
Harris and Moon discussed North Korea, global health and the “root causes” of migration to the U.S. from Central America, Harris later wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n
Many social media users accused the vice president of being rude to Moon \u2013 with some claiming a Republican leader would have faced much harsher criticism for the same action.<\/p>\n
“This is the USA VP?” one user wrote. “Not only disrespectful, but it would be \u2018racist\u2019 if this was a Republican, all over the news for sure\u2026.Double standards on full display.”<\/p>\n
“Wow! That\u2019s so embarrassing!” another wrote.<\/p>\n
“Is South Korea not our ally anymore,” one Twitter user commented.<\/p>\n
“You can\u2019t wipe off a virus on your pants,” another observed. “Plus, Kamala is fully vaccinated.”<\/p>\n
The vice president\u2019s sense of decorum was previously called into question in late March, when sharp-eyed media watchers noticed the vice president hadn\u2019t saluted U.S. military personnel as she climbed the steps to board Air Force Two.<\/p>\n
Fox News found that Harris had also skipped salutes on several other prior occasions.<\/p>\n
Weeks after the criticism, Harris posted a video on Twitter that showed her saluting before boarding a flight to North Carolina.<\/p>\n
