Say cheese! Child steals the show on House floor making faces as Rep rails against Donald Trump conviction
Representative John Rose may have been speechifying for the history books, but his 6-year-old son clearly had other ideas.
On Monday, the Tennessee Republican took to the House floor to rail against the historic guilty verdict in Donald Trump’s recent hush money trial.
In the background, as Rose called the decision a “terrible precedent” that struck at the heart of the “cherished tradition” of settling political differences at the ballot box, his son, Guy, began mugging for the cameras complete with smiles and goofy faces.
First, the six-year-old offered an exaggerated toothy grin. Then a stare straight into the C-SPAN cameras. Finally, he went all out, sticking out his ton, rolling his eyes and generally being a lot more entertaining than most mid-day speeches in Congress.
The Representative took the shenanigans in stride.
“This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother,” he later wrote on X, along with a shrugging emoji.
The little tyke recently finished kindergarten and will reportedly be with his dad all week in Congress, according to the Hil.
He clearly already has learned a key skill in Washington: how to get on camera, even if it’s at his dad’s expense.
