A Minnesota state senator became a reluctant star on social media after he voted shirtless while lying in bed during what should have been a routine legislative meeting.
In a video streamed on YouTube, Republican Senator Calvin Bahr, of East Bethel, can briefly be seen voting, with a School House Rock “I’m Just a Bill” character on the wall behind him, during a Zoom call on Monday with the Legislative Audit Commission.

After voting, Bahr quickly turned the camera off, leaving a black screen showing just his name.
Several people in the meeting room are seen smiling in the background after the camera switches back.
