Bodyless, Upside Down US Congressional Leader appears before House committee in latest Zoom snafu (VIDEO)

U.S. Representative Tom Emmer (R-Minnesota) inadvertently appeared with his head upside down and his body missing as he virtually attended a House committee meeting, giving the polarized Congress a rare moment of levity.

As Emmer began to speak passionately about the need to help small business owners during the Covid-19 pandemic, his colleagues on the House Financial Services Committee couldn’t help but be distracted by his head. floating upside down.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Emmer,” President Maxine Waters (R-California) intervened. ” Are you OK? “ The committee members started laughing when Emmer assured the members that he was fine. A male colleague then said: “You’re upside down, Tom.

“I don’t know how to solve this,” Emmer replied. As Waters asked someone to help the rep get back on their feet, other coworkers lightly teased him. “Is this a metaphor? “ asked a congressman. “I don’t know, but it’s upside down,” Waters responded.

“I don’t know how to fix it,” Emmer repeated. “You can stand on your head,” said another male colleague. A congresswoman then joked, “At least you’re not a cat,” referring to the Texas attorney who was embarrassed Tuesday in a virtual court hearing when a Zoom filter made him appear as a kitten.

” I do not know what happened, “ Emmer replied. “He just came out that way. I turned it off and back on, and I’m still… ” Support may have finally arrived at this point, as someone apparently helped fix Emmer’s display settings. He then reappeared, right side up and shoulders restored, and smiled broadly.

“Madam chair, how are you?” He asked.

“The gentleman from Minnesota will continue,” Waters said, with impassive seriousness.
