John Buysse, Hillary Clinton’s former Instagram and Snapchat guy, says that the reason why Texas Dem Beto O’Rourke gets to post so many food photos from the campaign trail is because of sexism.
You see, we “never saw posts like this from” team Hillary:
I ran @HillaryClinton’s Instagram account for the 2016 campaign & you never saw posts like these from us because:
1) The reaction would have been absurdly sexist
2) There *aren’t* photos like this of HRC b/c she knew there are different rules for men & women running for office pic.twitter.com/bs4EbvIrep

It’s a double-standard, he says, even though blue checks are mocking Beto every day for his antics:
Now that there are several women and men running, every single article or take you read about the 2020 primary must be read with this double standard in mind because it is coloring the entire premise of the primary as it’s delivered to us.

But it’s not an attack on Beto:
A surprising number of people read this is an attack on Beto. It clearly isn’t. It’s pointing out a problem much bigger than Beto in our media and society.

. . . would never, ever posts woman-of-the-people photos to social media:
It’s unheard of!
Surely Hillary would have won if this double-standard didn’t exist:
