Congressman upstaged by kid after he told 6-year-old to smile at the camera during House floor speech

Hes a C-SPAN star. 

The 6-year-old son of Rep. John Rose (R-Tenn.) stole the show Monday, hamming it up for the cameras as his father delivered remarks on the House floor. 

Guy Roses adorable antics included directly positioning himself behind in his father in full view of the camera as he smiled, rolled his eyes, waggled his tongue and performed some sort of secret sign language all while his congressman dad railed against the guilty verdict in former President Donald Trumps hush money trial. 

This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother, John Rose wrote on X, after his sons outrageous faces went viral.  The congressman told his son to “smile” for his 3-year-old little brother watching back home in Tennessee. AP

He knows something,” Doug Andres, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), wrote on X, including a screenshot of the young boy cryptically holding his hands in a triangle during his fathers remarks. 

So sorry I was slow responding to your email, I was tied up watching this over and over again, Aaron Fritschner, a staffer for Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.), tweeted, referring to the captivating four-minute-long scene that unfolded on Capitol Hill.

Several people on social media pointed out that young Guys silliness reminded them of the goofy faces and maniacal waving deployed by Andrew Giuliani during his father Rudys 1994 inaugural address.
