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:

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

Are Iowans this unsanitary, @iowahawkblog? https://t.co/PiLQugHWup

That is absolutely against food code and I'm calling the Iowa department of inspections.

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

Hell of a platform he’s got here.
