I have been told there may be a photo circulating that shows a young lady in my lap while we were on the campaign trail. I want to be clear: while a young woman did end up in my lap, the situation was entirely innocent.
We were scarcely out of town when our giant campaign bus lurched forward with such force that it sent this poor girl flying. She is the niece of one of my speechwriters, serving as a dedicated assistant on the trail. The jolt was so violent it actually damaged her clothing!
In an attempt to steady herself, she grabbed the large brass support pole, spun around it, and was flung directly toward me. Without a thought for my own safety—as any hero would—I was able to catcht her and we fell back into a bus seat with her safely in my lap.
She was so grateful to be saved from certain injury that she thanked me repeatedly until her uncle, my itinerary scheduler, took her to see a medic.
While those photos might look questionable to someone who doesn't know the truth, they are nothing more than political hacks trying to manufacture a scandal.
Your candidate is battered but not broken, and I remain committed to telling our government: Put It Back!
