Pete Buttigieg wants Thomas Jefferson events and buildings renamed
New York Post ^ | 18 May 2019 | Mary Kay Linge

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg called for everything honoring Thomas Jefferson to be renamed.

“Yeah, we’re doing that in Indiana. I think it’s the right thing to do,” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said in a Friday radio interview with conservative host Hugh Hewitt.

“There’s a lot, of course, to admire in his thinking and his philosophy,” Buttigieg said of the author of the Declaration of Independence and the nation’s third president.

“But then again, if you plunge into his writings, especially the ‘Notes on the State of Virginia,’ you know that he knew slavery was wrong. And yet he did it,” he explained.

This is just more leftist projection. Yes, Buttigieg, you need a new name.

Yes, selling his slaves would not have improved their situation and most likely have made it worse. To emancipate slaves was not an easy process in Virginia in part because the state did not want the freedmen to be destitute and surviving either at public expense or by crime. Jefferson was deeply in debt so he was not in a position to free all of his slaves like Washington was (although he would not necessarily have chosen to do so if he had not been in debt). He managed to free a few of his slaves in his will—the children of Sally Hemings (but not Sally herself).

I just finished a seance with President Jefferson and if I repeated his thoughts about Pete Buttkeg I would be banned from all social media forever. Suffice it to say he is not pleased.

The legislature in Missouri must be pondering what to rename their state capital.

Truman City? Carver City (after George Washington Carver)? Angelou City? Brown City (after Michael Brown)?

Buttigieg was polling poorly among blacks.

Pretty sure his poor polling among blacks has nothing to due with lack of wokeness, but everything to do with abundance of faggottry.

Facts don’t care about hour feelings, but the converse is also true - feelings don’t care about your facts.

They will demagogue the issue, because we’ve reached a critical mass of people who are unable to think. This has been in the works for a long, ling time.

Keep the streets named after Obama. It serves as a warning to keep away like a rattlesnake’s rattle.

Maybe she was a help to the President for a bit, but sure their was a ulterior motive.
