Breaking News: Beto O'Rourke announces 2020 presidential bid

Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke, D-Texas, who drew national attention and broke fundraising records with his losing campaign against Sen. Ted Cruz last year, announced on Thursday he is running for president in 2020.

I guess Beto has finally found himself after his loss to Ted Cruz last year.

He released a video this morning announcing his run for President of the United States, while sitting on a couch with his wife and waving his arms all around.

He has something wrong with him, right? Normal, healthy people don't jerk around like this when they speak, right? #NapoleonDynamite2020

I noticed this too! Especially watching him wave his arms around this morning on TV while doing a town hall. He’s like a human windmill.

Continuing…

Robert Francis O’Rourke is so in tune with women voters & feminism that he speaks for 3.5 straight minutes without ever letting his wife say a single word.

Stunning.

Brave.

Libkids superculting over the whitest white privileged whiteass white dude on earth with a billionaire daddy in law taking care of him is probably the funniest thing about the Woke Era so far
