Mitt Romney is a weird dude. I’m not just talking about the magic underwear and giving his kids names like “Tag” and “Sport” and “Dong”; he has this whole aww-shucks act going on that’s perfectly exemplified in this video of him blowing out birthday candles.
This is the most bizarre technique for blowing out birthday candles that I’ve ever witnessed. Mitt Romney is a deeply weird dude. pic.twitter.com/kLGuJawDpv

See, listen to that. “Oh my goodness,” “Look at that, holy cow.” he throws in a dad joke, going “What are you guys going to have?” It’s cute, and then… what the damn hell? He pulls off the candles one at a time and blows them out away from the cake. What kind of person does that?
This did not go unnoticed by Twitter.
I don't remember the last time I guffawed at a tweet. Congratulations. 😄

This is also the man who ironed his clothes while they were on his body 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

This is 100%, true, by the way, Mitt Romney ironed his clothes after putting them on in a documentary about his run for the White House.
The way Mitt Romney blows out his birthday candles is like when folks eat pizza with a knife and fork.
He's such an awkward politician, not a natural, yet he's been pretty successful anyway. pic.twitter.com/qu5oVOvOo1

My favourite Mitt the Human quote: "My favorite meat is hot dog, by the way. That is my favorite meat. My second favorite meat is hamburger."

Some people have pointed out this is more hygienic, but that doesn’t make it acceptable.
