Pete Buttigieg jabbed at Donald Trump during a Fox News town hall on Sunday, saying he understands why people and the media are “mesmerized” by the president’s tweets because “it is the nature of grotesque things that you can’t look away”.Asked how he responds to Trump’s tweets and name-calling – including referring to Buttigieg as Alfred E Neuman, the Mad magazine character – the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, responded: “I don’t care.” He said Democrats need to talk less about Trump and more about what they’ll do for the American people.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE let him win Democrat Nomination.
Latinos and Blacks will NOT show up in droves for a bone-smuggler.
I guess he doesn’t consider abortion “grotesque?”
What a peter puffer.
True dat.
And apparently got quite an applause at the end. Where are they holding these things?
Ol’ Butt-a-gag plays with feces, so he’s certainly an expert on “grotesque things.”
Gosh, how many stories did the MSM write about this clown’s town hall last night?
Liberals who refused to go on a Fox News town hall may have learned something. Go, but be sure the moderator is Chris Wallace. He’ll have your back.
Buttigieg is just an unfunny, dirty, joke masquerading as an angel of light.
FOX has changed into a left wing propaganda network. Telling half truths and anti Constitution B. S.
Thanks Monrose72.
He said Democrats need to talk more about Trump and less about what they’ll do TO the American people.
Regulate.
Raise taxes.
Repress freedom.
The three democrat “R’s”.
Well, if he doesn’t care what the president says about him, then what’s he continually bellyaching about it for? He looks like a queer Alfred E Neumann. Ok, so? He does!
His tweets are gross? Nah......A male playing hide the sausage with another male....that what I call gross. Fool.
37 year old ???
Doesnt the U S Constitution specify you have to be 40 to be President ??
But then What do leftards really care about the U S Constitution.
Actually 35 to be Prez. That’s the only one specified, if I’m not mistaken.
Ah the party of projection chimes in with their daily screening. All I can say from the audience is focus!
And some of the policies Buttigieg supports:[6] are.
Affordable abortion and the right to it for all women who choose to murder their child.
Abolishing the death penalty. End mandatory minimum sentences for certain offenses. Eliminate the private prison industry.
Gun Control: establishing a nationwide gun licensing system. The use of "Extreme Risk Protection Orders" since "two-thirds of all gun deaths are suicides." Holding the gun industry accountable for the misuse of guns by owners.
Legalize marijuana and address the harmful effects of its criminalization.
The Equal Rights Amendment: Enlarge and strengthen anti-discrimination protections against gender and sexual identity-based discrimination (thus leading to criminalizing dissent; compelling businesses and churches to support what God calls an abomination). Includes "safe schools legislation." Combating those who are defined as mistreating homosexuals. Includes fighting against "the overrepresentation and mistreatment of LGBTQ people in the criminal justice system" (the higher crime rate among that demographic). Focusing on improving "the health and well-being of LGBTQ youth, parents, and families." (All of which could extend to attacking those who are considered to be harmful to the psychological well-being of such). Protecting LGBTQ asylum seekers while supporting LGBTQ human rights around the world.
Working with "religious leaders, tech companies, and other influencers to reduce hate and extremism in our homeland," "groups that use forms of domestic extremism."
Growing national service programs to foster unified community and tackle "critical national and global challenges" from "climate adaptation to supporting disinvested American communities and neighborhoods", etc.
Universal health care: promoted as “Medicare for All Who Want It.”
Reparations policies for Black Americans and closing the racial wealth gap "income disparity").
Education: advocates zero tuition for middle-income families at public college; free public tuition affordable for lower income students, combined with a large increase in Pell Grants that provides for basic living expenses.
Boosting teacher pay, beginning with Title I schools.
Funding national investment in affordable housing construction. Ending homelessness for families with children.
Paycheck Fairness Act: forcing hire companies to reveal who and what they pay based on gender, and to pay, and promote women fairly.
Raising the minimum wage to $15 and strengthen overtime protections. Paid family and medical leave. Extend pay and benefit protections to uncovered workers. Invest in high-quality child care and early childhood learning programs (which could foster homosexual indoctrination).
Giving labor unions "a powerful seat at the table."
"Climate Change:" treating "Climate security" as a life and death issue for our generation.
Implementing "a Green New Deal with all available tools including a carbon tax-and-dividend for Americans, and major direct investment to build a 100% clean energy society." Includes, "Decarbonize transportation and industry; Commit to the Paris Climate Agreement and collaborate with other countries to increase all our goals;" "Convene state and local leaders for an agreement on community-driven carbon reduction;" "Prepare our military and disaster response agencies for the security threats of climate change."
Foreign policy, "reinventing institutions of international engagement to address 21st century challenges," "fundamentally rethink our foreign policy." Includes making climate security as a key basis for diplomacy.
Comprehensive immigration reform.
Automatic voter registration. Voting rights for the formerly incarcerated. Expand early voting.
Replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote.
Overturning Citizens United and Buckley v. Valeo (which ruled that statutory limits on campaign spending were unconstitutional), if necessary by constitutional amendment
Advocates the District of Columbia having a House member and two Senators with voting power. Puerto Rico statehood if its people want it, and immediate representation in the Electoral College.
Restructuring the Supreme Court so that ten members are confirmed in the normal political fashion, with the other five promoted from the lower courts by unanimous agreement of the other ten.
"Security" is a major theme of his position page, being mentioned 27 times, from Climate security to economic security to security from intimidation, while the effects of The Equal Rights Amendment would use intimidation via penalizing and prosecuting individuals or business such as in good conscience refuse to be complicit in affirming homosexual relations, imposing economic sanctions or worse on such.[7] Such attacks on the security of those of religious conscience has been seen under the implementation of the European Union equality law.[8] — https://www.conservapedia.com/Pete_Buttigieg#Policies
