OK, we seriously wish we had access to Beto O’Rourke’s journal entries for this:
We found video of Beto O’Rourke singing the Ramones in a sheep mask and a white onesie https://t.co/ZU9nwUhFE3

Well, yeah. Obviously.
More:
“Our persona was that we were a very famous band from New Zealand and we didn’t want people to know our true identities—that’s why we wore masks,” Ailbhe Cormack, the band’s bassist, tells Mother Jones. “I think people followed along with the mystery of it, but they knew who we were.”
…
The costumes varied. Aisling Cormack, on the audience’s left, dressed as a nun and played keyboard; Arlo Klahr, a former bandmate from Foss, played lead guitar; Joey Cazares, wearing a bunny mask rather than a sheep’s head, played drums. Ailbhe Cormack is on the far right. As of Wednesday, the video of this performance—which included a rendition of the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop”—had 53 views on YouTube.
The Sheeps had a short run. The band played three shows around El Paso between 2003 and 2004, “just for a lark,” according to Cormack. The group never toured. At its final show, in 2004, at a local club called the T-Lounge, band members wore brown paper bags over their heads—because some members had lost their sheep masks.
news isn't all bad, folks! and if you *don't* think this is interesting idk what to tell you

Beto almost pulled the wool over Texas' eyes.

Does this mean Beto locked up the furries vote?
— Glenn Amurgis (@gamurgis) January 23, 2019
At least he’ll have one constituency he can count on.
THAT'S MY PRESIDENT. https://t.co/u4qR6BZtlH

Someday we’ll look back and say, “Remember when it looked like Beto might be the nominee?”, and laugh.
That day is in like two weeks.

Who’s responsible for this getting out?
Who wants to bet Kamala dropped this on Beto? pic.twitter.com/Vj3MUx081d

Inquiring minds wanna know.
Meanwhile:
First I was shocked that Beto spent $75mil and still couldn't beat the most hated man in America, if not the world.
But now that I know he's a thin skinned emo furry who can't handle parody, I understand.
