Beto O’Rourke went to the dentist, and in the style of social media stars all over, he turned on his camera to broadcast the seemingly personal moment. But the dentist videos, with a shot of his teeth getting worked on, represented perhaps a new level of intimacy. “So,” O’Rourke said, as the technician removed the tools from his mouth, “I’m here at the dentist." On Wednesday, O’Rourke had posted a video that featured a video of a woman from another border outpost, McAllen, talking about how safe the city is. “Somebody asked, boxers or briefs?” O’Rourke said from a laundromat in South Texas as he held up a wet piece of clothing.
