Just days into office, new Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges is certainly making a splash on Twitter.Hodges, a former city councilman who won the 2013 mayoral election, decided to live-tweet her thoughts on the classic 1980s action movie "Die Hard"— "by now well-documented to be the mayor's favorite movie"— during a public screening at the Riverview Theater in Minneapolis.
If you are the one person on the planet who hasn't watched the movie, the following isn't going to make much sense, but to "Die Hard" fans, her comments are really on point.
