Joe Biden Is Trashing Pete Buttigieg Now
Vice ^ | Feb 9 2020, 3:00pm | Daniel Newhauser

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Joe Biden has had enough of Pete Buttigieg’s malarky and, folks, he’s about to show that young whippersnapper a thing or two about running for president.

In a series of post-debate appearances, a meandering press conference and a withering new attack ad, Biden struck back at the South Bend upstart’s call for a new generation of leadership and wrapped himself in the legacy of former President Barack Obama.

It’s all part of the former vice president’s new, and somewhat uncomfortable, campaign trail look: Scrappy underdog.

“I have never been very comfortable attacking somebody else. I don't think we need a circular firing squad,” Biden told reporters Saturday at his Manchester campaign office. “When you get attacked, you’ve gotta respond. I've kept my mouth shut for a long time. I haven't responded at all — at all.”

But the days of the Rose Garden strategy are done. Biden can no longer act like he’s already the Democratic nominee or refuse to deign to answer opponents’ attacks when those attacks are actually working and his path to the nomination is uncertain.

I've kept my mouth shut for a long time.

15 seconds is not a long time.

Ah, poor Mayor Pete just can’t catch a break, can he? If Joe Biden is trashing him, Mayor Pete has to be WAY down the pecking order.

Recent polling shows the former vice president could finish fourth or even fifth in New Hampshire.

Remember when people said attacking Biden months ago was too early? Thank you, Rudy

Joe Biden Is Trashing Pete Buttigieg Now!

Dem primaries are becoming circular firing squads!

Just Stand Back, and let them destroy each other!

Sit back and enjoy the dems in their circular firing squads!

Thanks to Bonemaker for this great reality.

It's a close contest on who gains more votes from which constituents?

The homosexual wine cave dwellers, or the hairy legged pedophile pony boys? It's close.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Oh man, the media said a ‘female’ was on the receiving end of the outburst, but was it really Mayor Pete that Quid Pro Joe was calling a “lying dog-face pony soldier”? Say it ain’t so, Joe! /S

“I have never been very comfortable attacking somebody else...”

Well, that explains why he never attacks Trump.

Well, Biden’s too late and too inept attempt at taking down the Butt might succeed in Klobuchar surpassing Biden in the final NH vote total.

Not a bad ad. Mayor Pete... decorative brick sidewalks... LOL!!

You go, Joe.

(Time for Pete to step up to the plate and hit some Burisma-Joe home runs.)

Trump could not do a better job of trashing them than they are to each other.

They are doing all his work for him and I don’t think it even occurs to them.

All he has to do is sit back, watch them destroy themselves, and then waltz in and sweep up after them with another term in office..
