America may just have found its next Andrew Giuliani.
The 6-year-old son of Rep. John Rose (R-Tennessee) went viral Monday for making faces and squirming while sitting behind his father as he made a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives.
Guy Rose grinned widely, played peek-a-boo with the camera and balled up a squeezie toy as his conservative dad droned on about the supposed injustice of former President Donald Trump’s conviction on 34 felony counts.
The cute kid even rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue as the lawmaker complained that Trump should not have faced a criminal trial.
“This is what I get for telling my son Guy to smile at the camera for his little brother,” John Rose tweeted after his son stole the show.
Only hardcore Congress-watchers spotted the action as it happened on the mostly empty House floor, where a string of lawmakers were making pro forma 5-minute speeches about events of the day.
But once C-Span put out a clip with an alert: “A child on the House floor,” the clip took off and had scored more than 160,000 views by mid-afternoon.
The kid’s antics reminded some of Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew, who made headlines and even inspired “Saturday Night Live” skits by fooling around on stage during his father’s City Hall inauguration in 1993.
For what it’s worth, the episode didn’t do any lasting damage to the younger Giuliani. He went on to work in the White House under former President Donald Trump and mounted an unsuccessful Republican primary bid to oust Gov. Hochul.
