Mockery ensued on Tuesday after Sen. Lindsey Graham's (R-SC) Siri loudly announced he was calling a primetime Fox News host.
Graham was caught speaking quietly into his phone when his virtual assistant exposed what he was up to.
"Funny moment just now in the Senate: Lindsey Graham whispered something into his phone and then Siri responded with full volume: 'Calling Sean Hannity mobile,'" Andrew Desiderio, senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News, wrote on X.
Social media users were amused by the funny moment:
"AI could never come up with this," Melissa Angell, policy correspondent at Inc., wrote on X.
"Yet another encapsulation of why we need generational change in Congress," Mike Raia, president at Half Street Group, wrote on X.
"For God’s sake. Do your job. Talk to your favorite Dems and broker an end to this!!!" Lynne Ballard, retired university provost, wrote on X.
"Lmfao incredibly powerful," Curt Mills, executive director of The American Conservative, wrote on X.
"Flip phone guy still adjusting," Burgess Everett, Semafor congressional bureau chief, wrote on X.
"LOL," chimed in Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman
