ZitatFormer Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) received a $50 parking ticket while campaigning in New Hampshire on Thursday after leaving his rental minivan in a no parking area outside the Manchester Courthouse, according to CNN’s Eric Bradner.
“Beto O’Rourke’s gray van just got a $50 parking ticket. O’Rourke, who was driving, left it in a no parking area outside the Manchester Courthouse while he went across the street at Consuelo’s Taqueria,” Bradner tweeted with a picture of O’Rourke’s van.
An advance worker for O’Rourke “quickly moved the van,” according to Bradner.
O’Rourke has been barnstorming across America in a minivan since launching his presidential campaign one week ago. To some, it’s a reminder of the 2016 launch of twice-failed presidential, Hillary Clinton, who also caused controversy for parking in a handicapped spot during an event in Iowa.
