“How long until someone makes a Twitter account for Beto's hands?'
Hours after formally announcing his bid for the presidency in 2020, Democrat Beto O’Rourke showed up at a coffee house in Keokuk, Iowa, to give an impromptu question-and-answer session. Perhaps more so than the insights on his pitch to voters, though, what captivated many, at least on Twitter, was the talking he did with his hands.
Are we sure Beto doesn't have Italian roots, because I haven't seen so much talking with one's hands since I was at my last family reunion.I like Beto, but I wish he would quit with all the gesticulating. I've seen Italians who use their hands less. O’Rourke raised a Senate campaign record $80 million while running against Cruz and is seen as one of the front-runners for the Democratic nomination. To kick off his campaign he will be spending the next three days in Iowa, a critical early caucus state in the 2020 cycle and where several other candidates have already visited.
Speaking in Iowa, O'Rourke gave little specifics on his policies, in one case choosing to address the"spirit of the question" when asked to give his thoughts on the Green New Deal, a progressive proposal to combat climate change pushed by freshman Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. O'Rourke did, though, say that the next 10 years would be critical in addressing climate change if future generations are not to find a number of cities uninhabitable.
