He looks like an absolute badass
They really chose the worst photo to make him look bad.

Damn, he’s a good lookin dude in your picture, he looks insane in OP’s post!
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.
Yeah, pic in the post kinda makes him look like a Mii character
😭😭
He got the John Brown [abolitionist] treatment
He looks like a guitar pick in that photo.
I feel like such a weirdo because I don’t see it. I think he looks totally fine in OP’s pic! Normal looking bloke to me lol
Man got some prince vibes
he reminds me of the actor for Grover in the Percy Jackson movies
I was going to say that, in their photo he looks like a thug or gang member, in your's he looks fantastic
My man looks like a nerd at his first high school debate. Where do you get gang member of a skinny guy in a suit?
I didn't even notice the suit in the first photo until I saw your comment, I just saw his face and thought of the "I'm the captain now" meme.
You mean like, "I'm the captain of the lacrosse team at Falls Church High School", right?
Please step back and analyze your biases to figure out why his image fits those stereotypes in your mind.
Smiling in the good picture, frowning in the bad one
Please step back and analyze your need to call out people based on incomplete information to figure out why you couldn't just ask for more info like the other comments in the thread.
This is my reason why I thought the first photo made him look like a thug.
When I first saw the photo I thought he looked very similar to the "I am the captain now" guy. That was my initial reaction, now obviously the more you study the images the more differences you find, so after a while you realize they a quite different.
Very telling comment.
fr, the original photo he's wearing a suit and tie and sitting at a desk. There's nothing there making him look like a "thug or gang member" beyond his race.
He looks like the "I'm the captain now" meme in that photo.
The actor was a Somalian from Minneapolis too.
Yes! Thank you that is exactly what I thought of!
Can you outline what specifically makes you think he looks like a thug or gang member in that photo?
In the first photo he looked similar to other thugs and gang members that I have seen in the media, though I mostly thought of the "I'm the captain now" meme
You dodged the question
How so?
