Beto O’Rourke is in Iowa today. Because of course he is. And he’s apparently traded in his skateboard for a coffee shop counter:

He’s just so cool, you guys.

We can totally picture Brian Stelter right now … he and Jim Acosta are taking turns reviving each other after fainting.

But aside from the obvious cringe factor, there’s another big problem with Beto’s counter surfing.

Actually, yeah. He kind of is.

That’s legit nasty.

My initial reaction is as a mild germaphobe….that seems, unsanitary. https://t.co/6aQTUdedVv — Drew McCoy (@_Drew_McCoy_) March 14, 2019

That is absolutely against food code and I'm calling the Iowa department of inspections. — 2 (@johansilentio__) March 14, 2019

Yo this isn't food safe — Impending Nuclear War Weddig (@Mr_Weddig) March 14, 2019

The proper reaction to a politician who jumps on countertops and tables is "Hey, I'm eating here. Do you mind?" https://t.co/ve9aE9FwOi — Scott Whitlock (@ScottJW) March 14, 2019
