US politician ‘removes’ glasses he’s not wearing – Watch Video
We’ve all done silly things on autopilot, but thankfully, ours haven’t been caught on camera for millions to see and laugh at.
An unthinking, automatic action has made a US senator the subject of many jokes. Utah Republican Orrin Hatch went viral on Twitter on Tuesday when he reached out for a pair of glasses he wasn’t wearing – and, instead of realising his error, then proceeded to ‘remove’ them.
According to CNN, this ‘iconic moment’ happened during a contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
It instantly went down in the Internet hall of fame:

If the 83-year-old was fazed by his non-existent glasses, he certainly did not show it. He continued his speech as if nothing had happened.
In fact, in a very sporting move, he later followed it up with a hilarious tweet.
