Rollan Roberts II was a businessman living in West Virginia, United States. As West Virginia Senator Roland M. A. Roberts' son, Roberts, after feeling strong enough, is ready to attack the "top of power", and he announced that he will participate in the 2024 US presidential election.
But in fact, his desire to run did not stir up much waves, after all, he is not a popular candidate, and his attention is very limited. But now he has become the target of many media reports in the United States, but this does not add points to him, and it is also considered that "the hope of entering the White House is even more remote"...
On January 27, local time, a video went viral on social media, and it is reported that it has been viewed more than 1.9 million times.
Roberts, a Republican, is announcing his candidacy at the West Virginia Capitol when his wife, Rebecca Lea Roberts, standing not far from him, staggers while an aide tries to grab her and prevent her from falling. But it didn't work, and Rebecca fell to the ground and knocked down the Star-Spangled Banner beside her.
It is reported that Rebecca is almost 5 months pregnant and is giving birth to a boy, all named, according to family tradition "Rolan III" (Rolan III).
Although Rebecca's fainting is worrying, what made the video go viral was Roberts' reaction.
Even the elderly parents standing on the other side rushed to see the fainted pregnant woman, but Roberts seemed to be glued to the podium, motionless. Of course, this is not accurate, after all, his head is still turned in the direction of his wife. It is reported that 5 seconds after Rebecca fell to the ground, Roberts walked off the podium to check the situation.
"He doesn't love her, why did it take so long to react", "How could he be the last person to act after his pregnant wife fainted?" "He really doesn't want to leave the podium for a second!" ”
After the video appeared, Roberts was ridiculed by netizens, of course, many people finally knew that there was such a person in the presidential candidate ranks.
According to the Daily Mail, Roberts gave a speech on the 21st, and in the video released by his team, the segment where his wife fell to the ground was deleted.
Rebecca is Roberts' second wife, and they married two years ago, and Roberts also had a baby in the previous marriage.
And because of this video, Roberts' "White House dream" may be about to wake up, and many people have already stated that "Roberts has proved with actions that he is definitely not a presidential candidate" and "there is a bad sign from the beginning."
It is reported that Rebecca is now in good health, and then Roberts also issued a statement saying that "wife and family are the top priority."
When her husband was put on the "cusp", Rebecca, a magazine model, also spoke up, posting a long post on her social media to defend her husband, claiming that the video was taken out of context, and her husband Roberts would always put her first, praising her composure, "He doesn't panic under pressure, and now the world has seen what kind of man and husband I am lucky to have."
