Second gentleman Doug Emhoff recounted the profound “hug” he shared with his wife’s running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, during their on-stage encounter at the Democratic National Convention held last month.
“We get up there and we just do this big bro bear hug, and I cannot tell you how many texts I got from my actual friends and actual family members, like, ‘You never hug me like that. What’s going on? You literally [just] met this guy,’” Emhoff told “Pod Save America” host Jon Lovett.
“Did you hit him on the back? Did you hit him on the back to preserve your heteronormativity? Did you give him the back pat or was it just a full embrace?” the host asked.
“Yeah, we just did this full-on — and he was like this, I was like this, and then there was just this bro hug. And I heard from a lot of actual friends,” Ehmoff responded.
