Cameras are always rolling—especially when you're a guest on a TV show—but sometimes that information isn't enough to prevent us from forgetting to not act like we're alone, sitting on the couch, watching TV, and eating our congealed mucus.

This is surely the case for the US Representative for Missouri's 2nd congressional district, Ann Wagner, who was caught aggressively (and seemingly naturally) shoving what appears to be a booger in her mouth during a televised interview.

In a Vine uploaded by user Chuck Westover this morning, Ann Wagner wipes her nose, puts her hand back down, and then immediately lifts her index finger back into her mouth. Like, really far back. Whether or not a booger was actually on her finger when she stuck it into her mouth is completely indeterminate from the video, but the timing would have to be really coincidental if she were just doing a routine finger-lick.

Although Wagner is a staunch conservative Republican who has frequently maintained that she is anti-abortion, this video reveals that she's still pro-choice when it comes to one very important thing: the choice to eat her boogers.
