Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg implicitly blamed President Donald Trump Thursday after reports indicated that Iran shot down a Ukrainian plane shortly after their military strike against the United States.
Buttigieg wrote on Twitter:
Innocent civilians are now dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. My thoughts are with the families and loved ones of all 176 souls lost aboard this flight.

American officials noted Thursday that Iran likely fired two missiles at the Ukranian flight that took off from Tehran just hours after the strike. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed the reports, but said the attack “may well have been unintentional.”
While Buttigieg did not explicitly blame Trump, he criticized the president’s “unnecessary” strike in Iran killing Iranian Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani for prompting Iran’s decision to launch a missile strike against U.S. targets in Iraq.
“Taking out a bad guy is not a good idea unless you are ready for what comes next,” Buttigieg said in response to Trump’s order, warning that it was extremely provocative.”
After Iran launched over a dozen missiles at two United States military sites in Iraq, President Trump did not order any retaliatory actions or strikes.
Buttigieg’s comment drew a rebuke from Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).
“Pete Buttigieg charges out to lead the blame-America-first brigade,” he wrote. “Sad, not surprising.”

Butterbutt the Sodomite, who’s got his head up his Butterbutt.
Buttplug is a nutcase—just what the demoncrats want.
What an absolutely disgusting creature BOOTY JUDGE is.
He’d blame Trump for rain on his picnic, sunrise, sunset, tides, wind, blue skies, cloudy skies, etc etc etc

That didn’t take long.
(hat tip to freeper tiki)
“Innocent civilians are now dead because amoral Democrats like Buttigieg gave the Iranian dictatorship cause to believe that they could get away with mass murder.”
See, we can play that game, too, Pete. All we need is an echo chamber.
Knee-jerk leftist.
Classic “Death to America” Democrat.
Just call him Mayor Buttplug. It’s easier.
Someone should take Buttplug’s buttplug and shove in his “pie hole”....and tape it there. Classic lib insanity on full display...in the worst way too.
asshole
It was inevitable that a Dem would make the connection.
Thanks, but “Butterbutt the Sodomite” says it pretty good for me.
I hope you contract rectal cancer, Pete.
OK, here’s how Trump did it. He had the Iranian military and mullahs quaking in their boots and peeing down their legs. Somebody in an AA missile battery saw the airliner show up on radar, and started screaming, “The B-52s are heeeere!! Allahu akbar! Launch the missiles, launch the missiles!!!
He and the gay one up north should share a room.
The guy is a fool and should be ignored
