A local Democrat introduced Beto O’Rourke as a “blank slate” at a campaign stop in Iowa on Friday.

“Beto is here because he wants to hear what rural Iowa and rural America is standing for. He is going from city to city. He wants to hear what we want. He is a blank slate that is waiting to be filled by our hopes and dreams for the United States,” the woman said, introducing O’Rourke to the crowd.
