OP's post image is probably a still image from a video of him ripping someone a new one in committee.

In the age of HD video, it is remarkably easy to catch a single frame of someone looking ridiculous.

35 years old. I'm glad we're having such young people hit the spotlight in politics (I say this as a young person myself)

As somebody in between being a young and an old, holy shit yes!

We in the exclusive Oregon Trail Generation (born late 70s into early 80s, tail end of gen x into the oldest millennials) get to watch how much harder it has gotten for young people, driven by ancient politicians who had things the easiest of any generation throughout their lives, economically speaking.
