I can't imagine this is spontaneous and real, maybe i'm too cynical
It had to have been staged. Anyone who talks to a 9 yo about sex change is supporting child abuse in my books and should not get anywhere NEAR the White House.
What the mics didn’t pick up is that right after the boy asked Petey that question, he whispered in his ear, “Okay mister, when do I get my new Playstation 5?”
I think it’s fake.
Pete can’t reproduce so he must recruit!
This is disgusting.
I agree that it probably was staged. At 9 years old, there is a natural curiosity about sex because the youngsters are just starting to notice the difference between girl and boy bodies, and are already starting to realize some sexual feelings. However, there is no way a child of this age has enough ‘maturity’ to even understand the life long decisions that ‘declaring’ one’s sexual preference has. At the very least, this boy was a useful idiot for buttigieg.
The Boy Inside the Man, or the Man Inside the Boy?
(Yes, I’m going to Hell for saying that. :P )
I suspect it to be staged, but, if so, it’s very ill-conceived. This pretty much chased away the black vote once and for all.
Libs confuse bravery with shamelessness
And then Pete led the boy back to his dressing room.
Bunch of sickos.
kid: oh, no. I’m not gay. that’s effed up... i was just wondering how messed up you really are?
Pretty sick imo. Bordering on abusive.
Sad to see what adults are willing to do to children to uphold their own selfish delusions.
staged or not... this is sick! the whole world is sick!
reading thru the headlines.. how did this country turn into what it appears to ... i dont recognize the US ... if i were to label it... i would say “sin abounds”... lying is proper, corruption everywhere..
justice is not equal and is not blind.
all is open..on display..
Brave? No. Going on the View and saying you support our great President would be brave.
It was staged, coordinated and rehearsed. Any amateur poker player can spot the numerous bluffs.
An adult onstage reads the question, not the 9 year old.
Then Pete pretends surprise, quickly pretends at first he doesn’t know where the kid is in the audience, then spots him too quickly, and immediately CALLS HIM ONSTAGE. All this screams “phony.” (Did he call ALL the previous questioners onstage? Nope.)
Then the biggest “tell” is Buttigieg’s carefully worded, definitely not spontaneous response. It’s a scripted speech!
If the 9 year old asked about being gay, a male teacher must be abusing him...
