Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) removed a social media post, which he later called “inappropriate,” shortly after it was shared Friday afternoon.
The post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, showed side-by-side photos of actor Sydney Sweeney in a revealing outfit during her recent appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” and President Biden as he arrived at his State of the Union address on Thursday night.
The Biden picture captured the moment he appeared surprised to see Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), and was posted to make it seem as though the president was reacting to Sweeney herself. Moskowitz captioned the post with an emoji showing a pair of eyes looking to the left.
“It was inappropriate. I took it down,” Moskowitz later responded on X to a post about the earlier post.
The Hill has contacted Moskowitz’s office for further comment.
On Thursday night, as Biden passed her in the House chamber, Greene was wearing a red Trump “Make America Great Again” hat and she handed Biden a pin that read “say her name Laken Riley.”
During the speech, the two had an exchange regarding Riley, a college student in Georgia who was killed while she was out jogging. A man who entered the country illegally has been charged in her death.
Moskowitz has been known to post jokes jokes and snarky content on his X account, including earlier this year when he responded to a post by “Sesame Street” character Elmo asking people how they were doing by saying, “Not well. I serve in Congress.”
