Major media report that four nice white men are running for president. Pete Buttigieg is on the cover of New York Mag. Beto O’Rourke is on Vanity Fair. Biden and Bernie are the favorites. If you’re excited to hear the big news that Beto reads books, well, Elizabeth Warren has written 11 books, and Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand are both published authors. You've heard that Buttigieg speaks Norwegian, but did you hear that Kirsten Gillibrand speaks Mandarin? Tulsi is the only one to challenge American military exploits, so of course she is especially anathema to the media.
