Elizabeth Warren's rally on Sunday was filled with girls there to see Jonathan Van Ness—but many left with new feelings about politics.
The food court is full of girls. Girls holding signs, girls filming the empty stage with their first cell phones, girls shifting restlessly from foot to foot and waiting for the show to begin.
One of them was Esther P., 12, who I found sitting removed from the crushing crowd, polishing off a plate of Mexican food with her mother and grandmother. When I asked Esther why she had wanted to come to this rally, she paused, and her mom told her to be honest.The special guest, of course, was’s Jonathan Van Ness, who endorsed Warren in September and, eight days before the all-important Iowa Caucuses, was in the state campaigning for her.
When Warren and Van Ness took the stage, wearing a pair of black sneakers and a pair of stacked-heel gray leather booties, respectively, the crowd got a tiny dose of Van Ness, and a big helping of Warren’s stump speech. Van Ness gave brief remarks about the day he came to care about the cost of healthcare as a political issue: It was the day he went to fill a prescription for HIV medication and found it was going to cost him $3,500.
“Whether you are someone who is a gun control voter, if you are an environmental voter, if you are a childcare voter, whatever your thing is that’s troubling you,” he told the crowd, “Elizabeth Warren has a plan for that. For me, it’s healthcare, it’s LGBT issues.”star Jonathan Van Ness speaks at an Elizabeth Warren rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sunday January 26, 2020.After Warren was finished speaking, Van Ness joined her as hundreds of people lined up for selfies with the two of them.
