Son of Congressman shines while supporting his father at House podium

Rep. John Rose (R-TN) brought his son, Guy, with him to the House floor on Monday, and the youngster has now gone viral for his facial expressions as his father spoke.

The older Rose was delivering a speech in which he condemned the recent verdict in former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial, though most of the attention generated online related to his son. Guy Rose was spotted staring into the camera for about the first minute of his father’s speech, and he could also be seen making funny faces while his father delivered his serious address.

John Rose’s office confirmed to the Washington Examiner that the child was his son.

“This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother,” the congressman later wrote on X.

Many users on X shared their favorite shot of John Rose’s son during the speech.

Rose harshly criticized the verdict against Trump on Thursday, including how the verdict was issued around six months before the 2024 presidential election. He added that “normal discourse” needed to be restored in America as the country should not continue with this division.

On Sunday, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) vowed to have a House committee investigate Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who won his case against Trump on Thursday. Johnson also expressed interest in an investigation into special counsel Jack Smith, who he believes is “abusing his authority as well.”
