Political commentator Dick Morris was deep in his analysis of the Iowa caucus results when his video interview was visually interrupted.
Speaking on Newsmax from what was presumably Morris’s home, the author and political consultant seemed oblivious to the head-scratching moment that had viewers bewildered and amused.
“Well, I think Trump is going to score a huge victory,” Morris was saying in the interview.
“I think the media is going to try to downplay it because, as you correctly said…” he continued when all of a sudden, a door behind him opened, and a man in a white tank and black shorts emerged.

To make the incident even more perplexing to viewers, the man casually strolled through the room in full view of the camera shot and walked off screen. Morris never even reacted.
Even the Newsmax hosts were silent about the visual after the camera segment panned back to them in the studio.

Viewers were left wondering if they had imagined the whole thing.
Like, what was that guy doing in Dick Morris’ house, and why was he in his underwear? Was he a guest or a squatter? And how did he not realize that he was interrupting a live interview?
The mind boggles at the possibilities.— Sonam Murarkar (@murarkar_sonam) January 17, 2024
What is happening??

How embarrassing for Dick Morris.
Not sure what’s going on here, and also, I don’t want to know.

Ha! & sometimes I worry my dog might bark during a conference call.
This dude needs to worry about half naked men casually strolling through on camera.
Hilariously weird. 🤡’s
