Please Allow Me Time to Process Beto O'Rourke's New Beard
Normcore political zaddy Beto O'Rourke has grown a beard and, while I appreciate the thousands of texts, calls, and telegrams, I must publicly state that I am still processing it at this time. Bae-to, about whom scientists say Avril Lavrigne wrote her seminal anthem "Sk8er Boi," has been on quite the journey since the end of his Senate campaign against Ted Cruz. He became a Medium blogger, he got into baking on Instagram Live like an influencer, and he spent New Year's Eve building and then sitting in an igloo. Which is why it pains me to say that I do not yet know how I feel about his new beard, which made its debut on a Facebook Live chat about the Southern U.S. border last night.
