Yeesh! Remember earlier this week when that Congressman was defending convicted felon Donald Trump on the House ground, and his 6-year-old was being a child and making humorous faces? Even if you happen to thought the man’s argument was trash, like we did, his son really humanized him a bit, proper? Well, don’t get too snug with considering of Representative John Rose as a very good household man…
Folks who don’t observe politics extremely intently and aren’t from Tennessee had no thought who this man even was earlier than this. But they’re studying! Apparently his earlier declare to fame was additionally due to a toddler… his future spouse.
Yeah, brace your self for some main ick.

So first off, sure, that’s a photograph of John Rose, his two sons, and his spouse up high. Here are some extra.
If you first thought that was his daughter, you aren’t alone! A whole lot of people make that mistake since he’s clearly sufficiently old to be her dad. The 24 yr age distinction may make you double take nowadays, but it surely was manner worse once they first met… when she was a teen.
Yes, apparently Chelsea Doss bought concerned with the Future Farmers of America on the age of 14. Through that group, sooner or later she met Rose. When she was 17 years previous she attended a 3-day conference the place she gained high awards and was named the 2007–2008 Tennessee FFA Association state president.

What we all know for certain is from public information. Chelsea, nonetheless 17, was awarded the Jerry and Betty Williams Rose Scholarship to attend Tennessee Tech. That’s the Jerry and Betty Williams Rose Scholarship. Yeah. It’s John Rose’s dad and mom’ scholarship. He apparently helped fund her faculty tuition… Oh, and he was the chairman of the Board of Directors on the faculty, too. In a 2010 interview with the Murfreesboro Post, she mentioned of the scholarship:
“John has made everything possible that I’ve done in FFA beyond high school. Through the scholarship that he provides, I’ve not had to have a job through college. I’ve been able to train, improve, focus on FFA and focus on school. That scholarship has made all the difference.”
She additionally mentioned the longer term congressman “coached me during my preparation, which has been extremely helpful.” Clearly that they had a really shut relationship for a scholar and her college’s chairman. But quickly after that was not a secret.
The subsequent yr, they had been getting married. At this level she was 21, and he was 45. If you assume that sounds unhealthy, it seems to be worse. Someone even grabbed their engagement announcement from the paper…

We warned you in regards to the ICK, proper? You can learn extra about Rose and his spouse’s relationship in a very good abstract at The Prospect HERE.
Apparently this has all been identified for years in Tennessee. But like we mentioned, earlier than his child began making humorous faces, most folk didn’t know something about John Rose. Now they’re completely horrified! After all, the age distinction? The place of energy he held over her? Not solely did they meet when she was 17, however he then began paying her manner by way of his faculty? Once once more, this looks as if textbook grooming from the political social gathering who love nothing greater than to throw that phrase round at each LGBTQ+ neighborhood member.
Also, keep in mind how his large protection of Trump was saying prosecuting politicians who commit crimes units a harmful precedent? Huh. Anyway, see a number of the disgusted responses on social media (under)!
“This is so adorable. Honestly, good on him bringing his grandson to work. Just some good innocent fun in govt. *googles Rep John Rose + wife* Oh….oh god. No.”
“I never imagined it was that bad”
“The awkward moment when you have to specify whether ‘the child on the House floor’ is your kid or your wife”
“The party of ‘save our children’ ladies and gentlemen.”
“All that groomer talk is projection.”
Oof. What do YOU consider this man now??
