This election cycle is shaping up to be a ginormous pain in the butt, but hey — at least we get to watch the media turn on Golden Boy Beto O’Rourke!

This morning, Mika Brzezinski took Skateboard Jesus to task for saying that he’d love to have a woman like Stacey Abrams as his running mate:

But wait! There’s more:

Just delicious.

I struggle to see how two campaigns offering Abrams a vice presidential slot this early in the game and without the traditional vetting process constitutes an insult. https://t.co/g3LfmhoXa0 — Noah Rothman (@NoahCRothman) May 13, 2019

Well, to be fair, as a white man, Noah can’t possibly understand the struggles of a black woman. Good thing we’ve got two white women like Mika Brzezinski and Karen Tumulty to speak for Stacey Abrams! Who’s being “insulting” now?
