Congressman spends several minutes winking and shamelessly hitting on C-SPAN camera

UPDATE: Apparently Harris was winking at–his mom?! That doesn’t really clear much up, frankly.

There are so many questions to be asked here.

In this clip captured, by the grace of God, on C-SPAN, Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md) (whom you might recall from his sabotage of D.C.’s marijuana legalization and ensuing Tumblr fame) sits down behind Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Georgia), and proceeds to text someone and flirt with the camera, including winking and removing his glasses with a rakish grin.

A preview:

Is he flirting with his text-buddy? Checking out someone off-camera? Humoring his children? Did he lose a bet?  Is he simply expressing his love for C-SPAN and America? Gearing up for Valentine’s Day? Proving that even C-SPAN is occasionally worth watching?

We’ll let you decide:
