GOP Rep’s Speech About Trump’s Guilty Verdict Goes Viral for What Was Happening Behind Him

A House Republican’s speech about the decision by a jury in Manhattan to find former President Donald Trump guilty of falsifying business records is going viral.

But it was not quite due to the content of his speech, instead it was because of what was happening behind him,

On Monday, Rep. John Rose (R-Tenn.) spoke about the “terrible precedent set in our country four days ago.”

He argued the prosecution and conviction of Trump should “gravely concern every member of this body, as well as every American across this country.”

What captured viewers’ attention was what was happening behind Rose, as his son, stole the show with his facial expressions.

At various points, his son smiled, stuck his tongue out, and made other hand gestures while looking at the camera.
