Are Rep. Steve King's Hands Dirty?

It appears as though Steve King might be a little, well, dirty. He was either caught cheating or just forgot to wash his hands before the latest debate with 4^th District Candidate Christie Vilsack.

He was filmed with a small amount of writing on his left hand while debating.

King's spokesman, Jimmy Centers, said when asked about it by Politico that the notes were likely from the day before. 

Vilsack's campaign said in a release called “More Soap Next Time?” that this writing violated debate rules, because neither candidate was supposed to bring notes.

Centers told Politico that King often writes reminders on his hand.

“If he doesn’t wash his hands good enough, he probably has notes from yesterday," Centers was quoted as saying.

Adam Haselhuhn also tweeted during the debate that it looked like King had notes on his hand.
