George W. Bush Sneaking Michelle Obama Some Candy Is the Internet's New Obsession
Yesterday was a somber day in Washington, D.C. as the nation's capital said goodbye to Senator John McCain at his funeral. Meghan McCain and former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush all delivered emotional and poignant eulogies, with some pointed words for Donald Trump. But there was one lighthearted moment caught between Michelle Obama and George W. Bush that has the internet obsessed and feeling hopeful.
During the service, cameras showed Bush covertly passing the former First Lady some candy from his wife, Laura Bush. The sneaky exchange was not missed by viewers and has since taken over Twitter.

Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to #candygate:
I'd like to think that moments like this between W. Bush and Michelle Obama are what McCain was hoping for. pic.twitter.com/vYE3A46Ity

If George Bush passing candy to Michelle Obama doesn't give you warm fuzzies for the oligarchy you're dead inside.#OwnedTogether#StillWithering🥀 https://t.co/PnHmvr8uey

The camera just cut away from Joe Lieberman's joke about John McCain to Laura Bush just passing a hard church candy to Michelle Obama thru George Bush and it might be the most amazing thing I've ever seen. #NationalCathedral

I'd totally watch a travel show where George Bush and Michelle Obama go abroad and get up to wacky adventures. https://t.co/0US5Sot36G

George Bush & Michelle Obama absolutely need their own Netflix series called “W & Michelle” where they just go to important events and literally steal the show with their shenanigans

The candy exchange between Laura Bush, George Bush and Michelle Obama is the highlight of 2018. What a perfect little moment between people who have different ideals but still are friends. And thanks Laura for coming prepared!!

Kindness is universal. We don’t have to hate those we disagree with, we don’t have to berate and lambast those whose opinions differ from our own. And we can ALWAYS share a bit of candy 🍬 #McCainFuneral#classy#GeorgeBush#MichelleObamahttps://t.co/WsbklTjjw6
