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

Posted on 05/18/2019 5:34:19 PM PDT by Meet the New Boss

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.

He does not understand history. Jefferson fought the BARBARY pirates, not the pirates with whom Buttgiggity finds affinity.

What about the nickels? The $2 bill. I think Mayor Pete wants to be on the $3 bill

In all seriousness, slavery had to be incorporated into the founding, just to get the Constitution ratified, and Buttboy knows it.

Well well well: Besides his main policy of “I have @n@l sex with men, deal with it,” he actually has a second policy: “Slander and destroy Thomas Jefferson.”

What a nasty little POS!!

You will NEVER be president, Buttplug! Never!

Got bad news for Buttgiggity:

1792: Virginia enacts its first sodomy law

That if any do commit the detestable and abominable vice of Buggery, with man or beast, he or she so offending, shall be adjudged a felon, and shall suffer death, in the case of felony, without the benefit of Clergy.

Ol' Wifey Pete would be swingin' if Tom Jefferson had anything to say about it...

I love it when these Johnny Come-Lately perverts know everything about everything. America is wrong, so they say.

The best leaders admit that they don't know everything. That is why they want to leave it to the vast ocean of individuals to make decisions for themselves. Thomas Jefferson was a great man. Peter Buttigieg, not even worth a poofter's fart.

He was raised by a true-believing Communist Professor father. To him, hating America and everything she stands for is absolutely normal (same goes for the Bible).

I listened to part of Hewitt’s aaa-kissing, softball-tossing, interview, and turned it off before I either puked in my car or ran it into a cement wall.

I have about had it Never-Trumper Hewitt’s soft treatment of this country’s internal enemies.

Jefferson “ did it?”

He inherited the slaves, from the previous (English) generation. As the USA inherited slavery from England, slavery was widespread in the colonies long before there was a USA.

So be consistent, Pee Wee, go burn down Buckingham Palace, erase the memory of the slavery-promoters.

FDR put Americans in detention camps based solely on their ethnicity. Let's get his name off everything.

And seriously, how is Robert Byrd's name still on anything? Or LBJ's? Bill Clinton was a sexual predator - get his name down too.
