As Republican Rep. John Rose gave a speech on the House floor lambasting the prosecution of Donald Trump, his 6-year-old son Guy was making a barrage of silly faces in the background on C-SPAN
A 6-year-old boy stole the show inside the House of Representatives on Monday as he made silly faces for the C-SPAN camera as his father spoke at a podium.
Rep. John Rose, a Tennessee Republican, was on the House floor addressing the trial and conviction of former President Donald Trump, who was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on Friday.
But whatever message Rose had was upstaged by his son, Guy. The boy was seated behind Rose and made a barrage of silly faces for the C-SPAN camera during his father’s serious talk. Guy eventually grew bored and moved outside of the camera’s view.
The video had been viewed more than 1.5 million times since it was posted on X as of Monday afternoon, drawing numerous responses, reactions and GIFs.
“So sorry I was slow responding to your email,” wrote X user Aaron Fritschner. “I was tied up watching this over and over again.”

C-SPAN camera captures hilarious antics by congressman’s son
Rep. John Rose’s son upstaged him during a House floor speech by making silly faces to the C-SPAN camera.
Who is John Rose?
John Rose, 59, is a member of the U.S. House, representing Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District. Rose has served Tennessee since 2019 and is running for re-election in 2024.
During his speech he lambasted Trump’s conviction.
“Using the justice system to engage in a politically driven prosecution and now conviction of a major political party nominee running for president, especially on the charges brought against Donald Trump, should gravely concern every member of this body, as well as every American across our country,” Rose said.
Many amused by Guy’s antics, including his father
Rose took his son’s viral moment in stride, writing on X that: “This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother.”
The congressman’s office said that Guy was with Rose for the week to “job shadow” his father after recently finishing kindergarten. Rose’s other son, 3-year-old Sam, and wife Chelsea are in Tennessee.
Many felt that Guy got the job done and then some, writing that he provided a bit of a joy during an otherwise serious moment. Many said they struggled focus on anything Rose said because they were too busy looking at Guy.
“I didn’t hear a word he said,” X user @clalter59 wrote. “This kid will be a comic one day.”
