I'm not at all surprised
It's disheartening to have it confirmed, but not surprising that these sorts of things go on. Some local activists recently had a lobby visit (I forget if it was at the state legislature, or with reps in DC) and the staffer who met with them refused to shake hands, because she was afraid to touch them! She made a show of trying to sit as far away from them as physically possible, prompting one of our lobbyists to say, "It isn't catching."
