AWKWARD SCENE: Person in underwear crashes live TV interview

A video clip of a person crashing a TV interview in what appeared to be their underwear has gone viral on social media.

On Monday, American author and commentator Dick Morris appeared on Newsmax with host Rob Schmitt to discuss the Republican primary in Iowa and what a potential caucus victory for Donald Trump would mean for the former U.S. president and one of his challengers, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley.

“Well, I think Trump is going to score a huge victory,” Morris said. “I think the media is going to try to downplay it because, as you correctly said, they’re basically supporting Nikki Haley.”

While finishing that last sentence, a person in a white tank top and either underwear or tight shorts opened a door behind Morris and entered the room he was speaking from.

The person casually walked by before exiting the shot four seconds later.

But Morris, a political consultant and former adviser to U.S. President Bill Clinton, didn’t miss a beat and stayed focused on his analysis despite the awkward scene.

“So they’re going to downplay it and they’re going to try to say, ‘Oh, he didn’t get a majority,’ or ‘He got 48%.’ But one way or another, this is a huge victory for Donald Trump,” Morris said, according to a longer clip of the video shared by Mediaite.

Morris didn’t address who the person was or why they walked by in that bizarre moment. Schmitt also stayed mum and continued the interview.

In the days since the interview, Morris has not spoken about the incident.
