So Mayor Pete fired a black police chief after he tried to get the Justice Department to investigate racism within his police force, replaced him with a white guy, and ever since then racist cops have been running wild in South Bend, threatening black city officials, and murdering unarmed black men?

All while Pete enables and protects them with laws that, for example, allow cops to turn off their body cameras whenever they want? (The cop who murdered Eric Logan had his body camera turned off, and apparently this is perfectly legal in South Bend.)

And instead of trying to address activist concerns or help families recover, Pete is swanning around the country running fr president? This ass can’t even lead people in South Bend!!!

How is this different from any other racist white mayor in the midwest? Who the fuck thinks this guy is a “progressive?” Who is buying this shit???? (x)

Pete Butigieg: Thank you for having me here. I have to admit, as a Democrat many of my friends and supporters looked at me as if I was absolutely nuts when I suggested I would be coming tonight to speak to a group that’s often identified with the Tea Party. There’s some, especially in my party, who think that the Tea Party is a subsidiary of the Republican Party. But there are many others who think that the Tea Party is motivated by real concerns about the direction of our government and the responses of our government to citizens, and of all the frustration of business as usual. That is what motivated me to run, so while we may have come from often very different perspectives, I believe we fight find -”(video cuts off here, probably some nonsense about finding common ground with racists.) (x)

AS A REMINDER...THE TEA PARTY WAS AN ASTOUNDINGLY RACIST MOVEMENT. Yet Mayor Pete thought he could find common cause with them. And to that (combined with his awful record in South Bend and his blatant disrespect of black officials in South Carolina) I say...

I like how, even though this sketch is a decade old, this basically sums up Former Mayor Pete to a T.

Not everyone was against Warren to be sexist! Not everyone was against Buttigeg to be homophobic! I’m sure many were but some of us didnt like their past actions or actions during the race. Please dont guilt people for preferring Bernie to either or both of them.

First Steyer, then Buttigeg. All the corporatists are dropping out in unison before Super Tuesday to fuck Sanders and get Biden nominated. You’ve got to hand it to them. They are crafty.
