Democratic 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke ran into car trouble on the campaign trail and was keen to show how he took charge and tried to sort out the problem.
In a Instagram story on his campaign account, the Dodge Grand Caravan, which the former Texas congressman was driving through Oklahoma, got stuck in mud. Some bystanders can be seen helping O’Rourke by dragging out the SUV with a car attached by a tow strap.

O’Rourke has been trying to boost his flagging primary campaign by advocating reparations for minority drug offenders and calling for the confiscation of semi-automatic AR-15s and AK-47s. He has accused Democrats of being “complicit” in shootings because they have yet to pass strict gun control legislation, such as universal background checks or red flag laws.
