Beto O'Rourke continues to live his best Generation X life. The former punk rocker and still current skateboarder's Thursday presidential announcement video featured his wife, Amy Hoover Sanders, sitting silently by his side and smiling at him lovingly while he pontificated for more than three minutes. He was rewarded for this straight-out-of-1959 performance by crowds who came to gawk at the charismatic candidate in Iowa, where he told a group in a coffee shop that his wife is raising their children "sometimes with my help." He was so pleased with the line, he repeated it the next day.
More than a few of his female peers responded to this with a collective gag.
