Lefties seem pretty split on Beto O’Rourke now that he’s officially entered the 2020 presidential race. Some are already sick of him, while others are fixing to explode with excitement.

CNN’s Jim Acosta apparently falls into the latter category. He can’t help but note that Beto has something in common with another skinny, privileged, white liberal messiah figure:

Hogan Gidley refers to Beto O'Rourke as “Robert Francis" on Fox just now. Asked whether that's what Trump will call him, he replies, “Why wouldn’t he? That’s his name.” — Felicia Sonmez (@feliciasonmez) March 14, 2019

FYI.. Bobby Kennedy was also Robert Francis. https://t.co/PYR2ErKnlR — Jim Acosta (@Acosta) March 14, 2019

FYI, guys.

This is Real News, Mr. President.

Because he is. What else can he say?

Jimmy, it sounds like you wanna hump his leg — Jet Burner (@JetteBurner) March 14, 2019

You might want to have a talk with Chris Matthews circa-May 2008 about that condition of yours, Jim. https://t.co/nQSO3nCOJ9 — Esoteric Jeff (@EsotericCD) March 14, 2019

The tingle makes Jim feel alive. Let’s not take this away from him. He has so little.
