Hillary Clinton spokesman slams Pete Buttigieg for criticism of 2016 campaign
CNN ^ | 3/30/2019 | Kate Sullivan

A Hillary Clinton spokesman slammed South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Friday for comments he made in January about Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Buttigieg, who is weighing a 2020 bid, said in an interview with The Washington Post Magazine published in January, "Donald Trump got elected because, in his twisted way, he pointed out the huge troubles in our economy and our democracy." He added, "At least he didn't go around saying that America was already great, like Hillary did."

Nick Merrill, a Clinton adviser and spokesman, called Buttigieg's months-old comments "indefensible." (snip)

Buttigieg's spokesperson had no comment when reached by CNN.

Ya’ll noticed how fast Jim Webb got to hell out of the new national socialist of america party running back then.

IMO, he was the only one who might have had a slim chance to defeat the Donald.

I wonder if Hillary had been elected, if she’d still be operational today...her health isn’t good. Some guy named Tim Kaine might be POTUS...

You can make a lot more dough skimming from a POTUS campaign than you can for a senate seat. Same reason Beta O’Mexico is after it.

"Donald Trump got elected because, in his twisted way.."

Sick liberals cannot resist any opportunity to trash President Trump.

Hillery the Kingmaker has become Hilley Cankles the Thing maker.

Anything that has balls will not be allowed to assume the seige perilous of the Donk Liberal Fascist Partay.

Strange is it not Buttergig attracts that Hitlery hit just as he is rising in the polls. Same as 2015 when Hitlery did Bernie with the pernicious back stab.

Some one needs to put Kankles in a Mental Treatment facility....BUT WAIT....

What Hitlery is doing is good for the GOP ! On second thought...TURN HITLERY LOOSE!

Yep.

Apparently, he holds an extremely exaggerated opinion of himself and his capabilities!

I also find it fascinating that he’s so presumptuous as to think that voters across this Republic of ours are ready and willing to put a gay man and his husband in the White House!

You’re right!
They can’t resist adding a slight of some sort!

Speaking of “twisted” ... Buttigieg is the last person to invoke that word! LOL.

WEll, when you word it that way , Time to poll Democrat voters whether they will support a “married gay man”

Caught a moment of his CNN interview. He was asked about how US could deal with *ahem* Middle Eastern countries with a gay Prez in White House . I turned channel.

I hope he fades quickly...for the simple reason is he’s a fag.

It will be 24/7 first fag this, the first fag that, first fag, first fag, first fag, first fag, first fag.....It will be sickening.

Hillary’s legs weren’t engineered to carry that load of bovine fertilizer.

You weren’t alone .many people thought Jim Webb was the best choice.Im still thinking Terry McCauliffe is the DNC puppet master.VA is getting ahead of itself these days. Tim Kaine was a terrible choice too.

A pedo porn scene in a book he wrote(supposedly a depiction about how adult Vietnamese Asian males greet their young sons when they’ve been away for awhile)was exposed publically some time ago and was brought up again when the Webb speculations about him running came out.

He weakly argued that it was a “cultural” thing but even if a “cultural” thing, that practice is abhorrent to anyone “normal” (except perhaps the Nambla crowd) hearing about it that Webb had no defensible position in justifying why he put that scene in his book. So no more public office for him!

Absolutely, it’s patently obvious. Soros and the media have selected her and they will clear the path for her like they did Hitlery.

Since Buttegieg is openly gay, this criticism would make Team Hillary a bunch of homophobes.

So the next big question for CNN and CBS to explore is “Why does Hillary hate gay people?”

Is there straight guilt outside a college town sufficient to elect that?

“In a recent interview with CNN’s Van Jones on “The Van Jones Show,” Buttigieg talked more broadly about being a small town mayor in a red state”

Note how the media makes it sound like he represents us Deplorables. Not even close. Ft. Wayne is a COLLEGE TOWN (i.e., Noter Dame) and that town represents Red America about as much as the City of Austin represents Texas.

But that’s what the media can do, since they have free run.

Ft. Wayne is a COLLEGE TOWN

There are some schools there, but I'd hardly call FW a college town. In any event, BootieGig is mayor of South Bend, 90 miles to the northwest of FW.
