Andrew Brenner, a senator for the state of Ohio, United States, who in the last hours went viral for starring in an unusual moment in the middle of a hearing of the legislative body.

As the state of Ohio zoomed in on the possibility of passing a law to create additional penalties for distracted drivers, the Republican senator participated in the debate while driving.

But really what he wanted was to hide the situation in which he found himself, by means of the use of a virtual background, but it was impossible. It could be seen that he was wearing his seat belt and looking to the sides, a clear indication that he was driving.

All this happened while the background was failing him and you could see a window and how the landscape was passing quickly behind.

This whole situation was broadcast live by The Ohio Channel. Later Brenner gave statements to The Columbus Dispatch, in which he said that “he was not distracted, he was paying attention to the road and listening to the meeting.”

He further added, “I had two meetings in a row in two different places. I’ve made a lot of calls while driving, and on this video call I wasn’t paying attention to the video. For me, it was like a phone call. Finally, he said that for most of the videoconference he was parked.

“I was wearing my seatbelt and paying attention to the road,” he defended himself.
