Brilio.net - Social media has been enlivened by a viral video in the United States (US) which has also become a topic of conversation among Indonesian netizens. This video shows an unusual incident that occurred at the US Congress last Monday (3/6), when a politician was delivering a speech while accompanied by his child who was sitting behind him.
The politician named John Rose is a member of the US parliament from the Republican Party from the state of Tennessee. Reported by brilio.net from the CSPAN news page, Tuesday (11/6), during the legislative session, he was first in line to deliver a speech at the DPR condemning last week's criminal sentence against former President Donald Trump.

"I stand today to address the terrible precedent set in our country four days ago, using the justice system to engage in a politically motivated prosecution and now the conviction of a presidential candidate from a major political party, especially for the charges brought against Donald Trump, should "is a serious concern for every member of this body, as well as every American throughout our country," said Rose in his speech uploaded to CSPAN's X (Twitter) account.
While Rose presented her argument, the child sat right behind her. His eldest son, Guy, initially sat calmly observing the scenery around him.

However, a moment later he showed a ridiculous expression on his face as if he wanted to mock a certain object. As a result, throughout his father's speech, the expression shown by Guy actually made many people focus the wrong way.
In fact, when Rose starts talking about the topic of "resolving our political differences at the ballot box," Guy innocently sticks out his tongue, smirks, rolls his eyes, as his father says, "generally exaggerating."
After almost a minute of antics, an officer out of frame pulls Guy aside so that part of his body is not visible to the camera. The boy sat there quietly, for the rest of the speech his father delivered.

After investigating, it turns out that Guy didn't do this without reason. He, who had just graduated from kindergarten, had to go with his father because his mother and sister had to go home to Tennessee first.
Initially, Rose only told Guy to show a smiling face for the camera, aimed at his younger brother who was watching at home . But instead of just smiling, Guy actually showed an even more ridiculous face.
"This is what I get for telling my son, Guy, to smile for the camera for his little brother," joked Rose then gave a statement like brilio.net from Fox and Friend, Tuesday (11/6).
