A Taiwanese lawmaker caused a major commotion by grabbing a bill and running out of the legislative chamber to prevent it from being passed. The event happened just before President-elect Lai Ching-te was set to take office on Monday.

According to reports, the morning session was already heated, with lawmakers shouting and shoving each other even before any votes were cast. The situation escalated when one MP, now nicknamed the “Bill Bandit,” grabbed the bill and dashed for the exit. Other lawmakers chased him, turning the chamber into a scene of chaos.

The video was shared by @CensoredMen on X garnering over 9.1 million views. Memes and jokes about the “Bill Bandit” running off with the bill went viral.

The timing is a huge "tell" to me -

Right before a new president takes office? Bill hurriedly written and rammed through?

Let me guess, the old president signs it, the new president has to deal with it? Good plan, sneaky and dirty.

But the other side can get dirty too. Somebody steals it, so the old pres can't sign it, and the new pres won't...

No.

It’s a bill the other party is trying to pass.
