Here is Beto O'Rourke petting a large, soft rabbit

I'm overcome with emotion!

During a campaign stop on Wednesday, Texas Senate candidate and hot person Beto O'Rourke paused to pet a soft rabbit. I know what you're thinking: Oh my god!

Here is a 20-second video of it happening:

What's your favorite part of this video? Is it the rabbit's trembling foot? The bunny's arresting fluffiness? The third-party hand that pops in to soothe the rabbit? The person in the background who, no doubt overcome with emotion, shouts "Bunny for Betos" instead of "Bunnies for Beto?" Beto whispering "Oh my gosh" as he pets the rabbit? Beto saying "This is what I needed in my day today?" Beto in general? Help?

My favorite part of this video is all of it. Thanks for asking!
