Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., recently released a video that has sparked widespread criticism and mockery online, with many calling it one of the most cringe-worthy political videos they’ve seen.

May 17, 2022; Washington, DC, USA; House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Rosa DeLauro speak to one another as Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr. addresses the baby formula shortage during a press conference at the US Capitol. The baby formula shortage began in November 2021, when about 11% of popular brands were out of stock, according to data analytics firm Datasembly. As of May 8, 43% of baby formula was sold out at retailers across the U.S. because of recalls and supply chain strains. Mandatory Credit: Josh Morgan-USA TODAY NETWORK

The video, posted with the caption “Letting my GenZ staff write the script,” quickly went viral due to its heavy use of internet slang and meme culture, leaving many viewers bewildered.

The video begins with DeLauro introducing herself as “the Ranking Rizzler on Appropriations, serving Connecticut’s 3rd District.”
