For one shining moment this week, the country’s ongoing political crises were swept away by the comedic power of one wildly exuberant 6-year-old. Rep. John Rose of Tennessee was giving an impassioned defense of former President Donald Trump when his young son Guy went into action.
Republican Rep. John Rose of Tennessee spoke on the House floor on Tuesday, while his son sat behind him, smiling and making faces and hand gestures.This image from House Television shows Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn., speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives Monday, June 3, 2024, in Washington, as his son Guy makes a face.

“It reminds us that we’re all humans, we all have children.

If he was just making those faces in the classroom, it wouldn’t have been the same.
A day after his House antics, Guy was at it again, rolling on the White House lawn during the annual congressional picnic. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts’ irrepressible son Jack, then 4 years old, gained attention for his enthusiastic dancing during the 2005 ceremony when former President Obama was introducing Roberts as a Supreme Court nominee. And an infamous Oval Office photo features the young son of a Secret Service agentAnd sometimes the attention isn’t always positive.
