Hollywood Reporter ^ | April 2, 2019 | Chris Gardner, Borys Kit , and Peter Kiefer

The rising presidential hopeful was joined by rivals Kamala Harris and Cory Booker in visiting Los Angeles in late March, appearing at everything from an HRC fundraiser and NAACP Image Awards to showbiz offices and backyard garden parties. A lot of people in Hollywood spent last week learning to pronounce Pete Buttigieg’s last name.

The 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind. — and surging Democratic presidential candidate — was in town over the March 29 weekend to make the rounds with potential supporters and contributors, starting with a stop at the Beverly Hills offices of Brillstein Entertainment Partners.

For a Midwest mayor of a small college town who claims he is going to reach out to flyover voters has the guy even spent 1 minute outside Iowa in flyover country. All the news I have seen is he is on the coasts begging for money.

I am sure Buttigieg will pay a visit to West Hollywood for a good time.

He has a “husband”, so “flyover” folks are unlikely to financially support him. The coasts are infested with weirdos of all kinds, a better hunting ground for his kind.

He is a Jimmy Carter redo, and even more Leftist in spite of appearances. It would not surprise me to see some very well known Leftist helping his fundraising.

Chip off the Ol’ Eastern Bloc: Pete Buttigieg’s dad was a Marxist.

I was baffled last week by Pete Buttigieg’s definition of “freedom,” which was eloquently stated, rousingly received, and 100% incorrect. To him, any adversity you face in life makes you less “free.” To him, being “free” means the government taking care of you from cradle to grave. As a fellow Hoosier, I was taken aback by how much Mayor Pete sounds like a damn communist.

Turns out there’s a very good reason for that! Emily Larsen and Joseph Simonson, Washington Examiner:

The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.

Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.

People keep calling Beto “the white Obama,” but Pete is the one with a commie college-prof dad.

So that explains why Buttigieg’s definition of “freedom” is the opposite of the one our founding fathers used. He grew up learning about a very different group of dead white guys.

...Sounds like a chip off the ol’ Eastern Bloc to me. He’s basically a younger, more polished version of Bernie Sanders. That’s what the kids are into these days, right?

I haven’t heard his name pronounced because I don’t get my news from the TV, and our local radio is only interested in sports for now. So until I hear otherwise, I’m calling him Butt-gig.

The generation of climbing proggies who joined the military to burnish their post 9/11 resumes is coming of age. Expect a lot more of them.

(Ans: the current D party candidate pool)

comment:
we’ve never seen such a collection of such crazies and idiots! If the D party bosses want to seize power again, they need to find a saleable candidate ... almost anyone not visibly slobbering at the mouth rabid communist or Islamic or otherwise completely wacko...

A butt gig is more successful in San Francisco from what I’ve heard.

Makes sense he's mayor of South Bend.

I wonder how many cardinals he knows.
