Buttigieg backs leftist idea of erasing Thomas Jefferson's name: (Right thing to do...)
Fox News ^ | 18 May 2019 | Lukas Mikelionis

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said Friday that things named after President Thomas Jefferson should be renamed because that’s the “right thing to do.” Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., who became the rising star of the 2020 Democratic primary, echoed the far-left calls to rename buildings or events that carry the names of prominent U.S. figures on the grounds that they were owners of slaves.

The mayor was asked during "The Hugh Hewitt Show" on radio whether the name of the annual Indiana Democratic dinner, named the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, should be renamed as both presidents were holders of slaves. “Yeah, we're doing that in Indiana. I think it's the right thing to do,” Buttigieg said, according to the Washington Free Beacon. He then offered a tepid defense of the Founding Father while agreeing that events shouldn’t be named after him.

As many people as possible should attend Buttplug rallies and yell, “Quack, Quack, Quack”.

The unsuspecting media WILL report on it, thinking it strange, but having no idea what’s it about. (Shep won’t report on it because he is well aware of that sound.)

I know it’s mean, but I can’t help myself since I learned something new yesterday here on FR. It’s ALL YOU GUY’S FAULT!

I knew when these banhappy fascists were taking down confederate statues they would escalate to doing the same with the founders of America. leftars ALWAYS move the goal posts and become more extreme and totalitarian. This is a prime example.

It shows who this clown truly is, that he wants to erase Thomas Jefferson’s name from everything shows what a jerk he is. Thomas Jefferson is one of the leading founding fathers in this country. He is responsible for the major portion of the structure of our government. This may be the thing that takes him down. If not, it should be. What a goofball!

I live in south bend, do people realize there is a school in south bend called Jefferson traditional school, in the city he governs? If it was such a big deal why didn’t he do something while he was mayor??

That needs to be put in a political ad.

Little Petey wants to come off as a nice guy who is harmless to the moderates, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

His promotion of his marriage which is an abomination to our Lord is the starting point. Like most gays and tranny's, their lives are consumed by justifying their sexual orientation, something which is a private matter and should stay that way.

His support for full term abortion, his support for NJ Spartacus' plans to restrict gun ownership and his denial of our founding fathers key enumerated rights in the Constitution is good cause to throw him to the street. Even without his sinful sexual perversions which he wishes to throw in our face, defiling his pretend Christian faith and trying to make this mainstream in America. He is a vile man who deserves no respect or granting of quarter.
