A Democratic senator became the target of mockery after behaving strangely at the opening coin toss of Monday’s Rose Bowl in California.
Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona filmed his surroundings with a cell phone at the start of the contest between Penn State and Utah.
The former naval aviator appeared more interested in his phone than the beginning of the game.
Kelly filmed with his phone — all the while a broadcast camera captured the pre-coin toss in far greater detail than his phone could have.
The referee overseeing the coin toss got Kelly’s name wrong after introducing Kelly’s wife.
“Ms. Gabby Giffords, alongside her husband here, Senator Mark Lewis,” the ref said on a live stadium microphone.
Giffords, a former congresswoman, served as the Grand Marshal of the bowl game’s annual parade.
Kelly smiled awkwardly as the referee drew a blank on his name.
