During Saturday morning's "State of the Union" on CNN, host Jake Tapper asked 2020 presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg about President Donald Trump's so-called "racism."
"Do you think it's a racist act to cast a vote for President Trump in 2020?" Tapper asked.
"At best it means looking the other way on racism," Buttigieg replied. "You look at what he said in that rally. You got no choice but to vote for him. And if you look at the numbers, basically what he's saying is, 'Alright. I want you to look the other way on the race issue, tolerate the negativity, accept the instability of my administration because I'm going to deliver, for you, job growth almost as good as the Obama years.' That's what his argument amounts to right now and it's part of the reason why he's unpopular."

Democrats like Buttigieg need to get off their high horse. Americans are tired of Democrats acting like they're morally superior to conservatives. We're tired of being told that having conservative values somehow conflates us with Hitler and the Nazis.
They also need to realize there's a difference between "white supremacy" and "nationalism."
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a patriotic person who loves this country.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to protect our Constitution, Bill of Rights and everything America stands for.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being white. There's no need to apologize for being what you are. It's not like any of us had a say in what our skin color is or where our family originated from. Yet Democrats are quick to condemn those of us who are white. And if you're a white person who loves America then – gasp – you have to be a white nationalist who wants to keep minorities oppressed.
Democrats make all of these assumptions without knowing what conservatives value or why we value them.
The reality is simple: if someone decides to vote for President Trump next year, it's not because they're "turning a blind eye" to Trump's so-called "racism." It means they're choosing a president who wants the American people to be able to make decisions for themselves. It means they're choosing a president who has improved our economy. It means they're choosing a president who has taken on the establishment and kept campaign promises.
Buttigieg, you need a reality check. And you'll be getting it next November when President Trump is re-elected.
FU, Buttgiggety.
ButterButt.
Fuggaddabouddit.
In case we weren’t sure he is completely nuts, he keeps saying and doing things to make sure everyone will know.

No, ButtFudge. It seems more accurate.
ButtGlug, it is hard to ignore racism. It spews like a fire hydrant from democrats continuously
“...I’m going to deliver, for you, job growth almost as good as the Obama years.”
Man, is this guy ever delusional. Job growth during the obama years never happened.
Go home to Daddy Bootyplug, you will never be president.
It’s like a tree that falls in the forest over and over and over again because no one is listening and it thinks it isn’t making a noise. Is Buttigieg making a noise? We can’t hear him. Do we want to tell him to yell louder? On the one hand he and his friends on the squad are annoying the crap out of everyone. On the other hand they are annoying the crap out of us.
All Rat positions on policy and statement, begin with an underlying lie.
This lie, “look at what he said about that rally”, speaking about Charlottesville. If you look at what our President said vs the lie about what he said, it is clear the fraudulent position of Buttplug.
Interestingly enough, the gays I’ve known (every one of them) were quite intelligent. And quite conservative.
Buttiwhatever is obviously not conservative. But he’s most emphatically not even within a parsec of being intelligent.
(Awaiting comments on parsec from any lib out there. Heh.)
no
“””Man, is this guy ever delusional. Job growth during the obama years never happened.”””
Let’s not forget that obama changed the definition so a part time job was the same as a full time job.
Regardless, voting for Buttiegig means you are supporting homosexuality.
Trump supporters actually ignore racism. It’s the Left that is obsessed with race and identity politics.
Of all the Dem candidates, Buttigieg raises my blood pressure the most. imho, he is BIG hypocrite, talks a good show but cares little about the good of America.
Just the opposite. If you do not re-elect Trump you will see an increase in racism. That is part of the oppositions agenda..
This is only partly true. If you are a white Democrat, the list of people you owe an apology is endless. If you aren't white and a Democrat, you still owe many apologies, just to a slightly smaller list.
Another racist democrat projecting his racism onto everyone else.
