This congressman’s kid embodies how everyone probably feels about politics right now

Guy breaks into a smile for the camera.

His dad continued to speak, saying May 30 — the day Trump was found guilty of 34 felonies — would go down as “one of the more infamous days in American history” because of “flimsy” charges brought against Trump.

Behind Rose, Guy appeared to get bored, fishing a toy out of his pocket and fidgeting with it, occasionally giving the camera a cheeky glance.

C-SPAN captured the boy’s adorable antics for only about five minutes as his father spoke, but they’ve since gone viral.

According to Rose, the faces apparently stemmed from an encouragement for Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother, Sam.

The Associated Press reported that Guy just graduated kindergarten last week and that his brother and mother, Chelsea, are back home in Tennessee.

Rose’s opposition jumped in with criticism for the congressman on Monday evening, writing on X that “we too would be mocking him while he spoke.”

Doug Andres, spokesperson for Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, suggested that Guy might have been trying to tell everyone something about the Illuminati.

Rose, now 59, was likely about 53 when his wife gave birth to Guy. The congressman was 45 in 2011 when he married Chelsea Rose, who was then 21 and a college senior, according to The American Prospect, a liberal political magazine.

He founded the IT training company Transcender Corp and was president of Boson Software, a similar firm based in Nashville. Rose was also Tennessee’s agriculture commissioner from 2001 to 2003 before he became a congressman for the state’s 6th district in 2019.

Rose generally aligns with his party in votes and politics, more recently defending Trump and supporting Israel.
