Barber Has Surprising Reaction When Trump’s Running Mate Stops in for a Haircut

During a tour through Pennsylvania on Tuesday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s running mate, made a quick stop for a haircut in Norristown.

Pence was surrounded by reporters and camera crews as he entered Henry Jones’ barbershop.

Yet despite the media fanfare surrounding the incident, the barber had no idea he was cutting the hair of such a high-profile figure.

After Jones finished cutting Pence’s hair, he shook the governor’s hand and said, “Your name was?”

“Mike Pence,” he replied. “I’m the governor of the state of Indiana, and I’m running for vice president of the United States.”

“Go ahead, man. Whoa,” replied the 74-year-old barber with a chuckle. “Vice president? Oh boy.”

“We were just in town doing a rally, campaigning, and heard you were the place to come for a haircut,” said Pence. “You’re very gracious.”

Throughout the haircut, Pence and the elderly barber discussed several issues, including the barber’s 40 years of experience cutting hair, the places Pence frequents in Indiana for his regular haircuts, sports and even married life.

Surprisingly, the one issue Pence did not discuss on the campaign stop was the 2016 election.

“Give me a handshake again,” said Jones toward the end of the event. “This is great. Woo! This is history over here, I’m telling you.”

“We’re hoping to make some history,” replied Pence, before taking a picture with the man and another member of his campaign.

Pence was visiting Pennsylvania on Tuesday while Trump was in Texas for a live town hall with Fox News’ Sean Hannity. (For more from the author of “Barber Has Surprising Reaction When Trump’s Running Mate Stops in for a Haircut” please click HERE)
