Remember a few weeks ago when celebrity Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez dazzled liberals as she did a livestream from her kitchen?
Sunday night cooking livestream with @Ocasio2018 where she announces @NaureenAkhter will be joining her and maybe soon others will be too.
More than 3,000 people watching her on Instagram cook black bean soup from her Bronx apartment. pic.twitter.com/L4HJW9QLU7

Well, it’s catching on with possible 2020 candidate Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) giving the technology a spin:
I'm live on Facebook!
I’m excited to talk with everyone over the next hour about any questions, comments, or ideas you have. Franklin is also sitting here with me. I am sure he will happily answer a question, too. https://t.co/iryPQ29pp9

From his kitchen, of course, because that’s how all the kids are doing it nowadays. Except Sen. Brown is nowhere near the online celebrity as the newly elected Ocasio-Cortez. He only has a little over 500 people watching him right now while she had thousands:

And as more evidence he’s running, he added his dog to the video. Take that, Alexandria!

He also seemed supportive of Ocasio-Cortez’s plan for a New Green Deal. She really is the new face of the party, isn’t she?
Asked on a Green New Deal, Brown sounds very supportive of it."To me, one of the greatest issues of our time is climate change, period."

Brown speaks positively of the Green New Deal but doesn't outright endorse it specifically
