US Republican John Rose’s son makes funny faces in the House and becomes an internet sensation

Republican John Rose’s speech to the House will likely be remembered for reasons unrelated to his words.

During a routine legislative session, Rose’s young son caused a distraction, becoming an unexpected star. While the House was discussing mundane matters such as naming post offices, the boy captured the attention of viewers on C-SPAN.

At first he looked directly at the cameras, smiling, then seemed to lose interest and turned away for a moment. He soon resumed his antics, sticking his tongue out playfully, then rolling his eyes and shaking his head, clearly unimpressed by the formal proceedings of the House of Representatives.
