Mayor Buttigieg Runs for President While His City Bleeds
Front Page ^ | April 5, 2019 | Daniel Greenfield

On March 31, a South Bend grandma brought her grandson to the hospital. The 11-month-old baby boy had been shot. His grandmother’s car had also taken fire. It was another early morning in South Bend.

Around the same time, Mayor Buttigieg, was toting up the $7 million in donations from his charm offensive as his bid for the 2020 Democrat nomination got underway. The national media never bothered reporting the shooting of an 11-year-old boy in the city he was supposed to be running, but instead confined its coverage of South Bend matters to a publicity stunt wedding officiated by Buttigieg.

The horrifying shooting of an 11-month-old boy on the millennial mayor’s watch was not an unusual incident. In the last few days, even the media was gushing over Buttigieg’s presidential ambitions, two Indiana University South Bend players were injured in a shooting on Notre Dame Avenue, a blind date ended in a shooting, and yet another shooting added to the bloody toll in the real South Bend.

Those are quite a few shootings for a city of barely 100,000 people. But South Bend is a violent place.

It seems that Buttigieg is a miserable failure as the mayor of a small city of about 100,000 people.

“Mayor Pete” is the son of a Marxist prof working in Notre Dame. He used the death throes of a dying city to polish his brand and then jump into the 2020 race over dead bodies.

South Bend is a human tragedy. And while Buttigieg isn’t solely responsible for his woes, he has exploited it, instead of trying to fix it, using buzzwords and gimmicks to build a national brand.

The article says 11-month old and then 11-year old. It seems to be about the same boy.

At no point in time does the media stop to tell the viewers and readers it is regaling with stories of Mayor Buttigieg’s charm that he runs the most dangerous city in Indiana, recently rated as one of the “worst cities to live”, where nearly half the residents live at the poverty level, and even the water is bad.

Is Shiff or Nadler demanding documents from the Media to investigate this Illegal In Kind Contribution like they are trying to do to FOX???

Born and raised in South Bend. Haven’t lived there since the 70’s though.

Unbelievable how things have changed as usually the only place to get shot was on Chapin Ave.

Last republican mayor we had was Lloyd Allen in 72 and he was loved and a great mayor but only ran twice winning by landslides.

Apparently 47 years of Democrat leadership has taken it’s toll.

Another doctrinaire Leftist whose only virtue is that he served in the military. They’ll bang that drum just as hard as they can.

Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" destroyed the fabric of the black family via welfare and the whole country is paying the price.

Most of these lunatic candidates have helped absolutely destroy their political “home” and feel they are worthy to make that happen for the country as a whole. It is pure insanity and yet millions vote for it.

If he is elected, it would be a big SPIKE in the gerbil industry.
