Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro suffered a very dad moment Friday after his son crashed a live interview on MSNBC.
The state’s top lawyer was talking about Pennsylvania’s grinding count of mail-in ballots in the 2020 election when his son walked into the room, glued to a smartphone.
When Shapiro’s son realized he was on camera, he slowly backed out of the room, in a fashion reminiscent of many humorous internet memes.
“I’m taking his phone away for 24 hours,” Shapiro said in a tweet sharing the clip. “See, politicians are people too!” he added in an Instagram post.
The moment instantly went viral with Shapiro’s tweet netting more than 3,200 retweets and 39,000 likes.
“My brother is a meme now and I am here for it,” added sister Sophia Shapiro.
The Democratic Pennsylvania Attorney General has been the subject of considerable scorn by Republicans over an earlier statement on Twitter declaring Joe Biden would win his state — several days before the election.
“If all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose. That’s why he’s working overtime to subtract as many votes as possible from this process,” he said on Oct. 30.
