Buttigieg takes on Trump, pitches four new tax hikes in Fox News Town Hall
Fox News ^ | May 19, 2019 | Gregg Re

Insurgent Democrat presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg acknowledged at the Fox News town hall in Claremont, New Hampshire Sunday evening that he needs to do more to appeal to "black and brown" voters, even as he confidently parried a series of policy questions -- and, on several occasions, went directly after President Trump.

Buttigieg argued that minority voters are "skeptical of people who seem to come out of nowhere," after moderator Chris Wallace noted that he was polling at one-percent support among nonwhite primary voters according to a recent Fox News poll.

On fiscal policy, Buttigieg pushed for four distinct tax hikes when asked about the deficit, saying he favored a "fairer, which means higher" marginal income tax, a "reasonable" wealth tax "or something like that," a financial transactions tax, and closing "corporate tax loopholes."

"You don't blow a hole in the budget with an unnecessary and unaffordable tax cut for the very wealthiest," Buttigieg told Wallace, referring to President Trump's tax legislation.

I read up on South Bend a little while ago. Mostly a college town that’s no bigger than Tuscaloosa, AL. I would certainly want more experience out of any person I would vote for president.

Wish that there was a Free Republic Thread posted tonight dedicated to Steve Hilton’s full-hour interview with President Trump on his Next Revolution program.

Hilton devoted the entire show to the interview conducted in the Rose Garden.
Hilton managed to delve into topics and ask questions others have heretofore not broached.

This show repeats @Midnight ET.

BTW, it’s a blatant conflict of interest and highly unethical for Fox News to promote Mayor Pete, especially since one of Murdoch’s sons has reported donated to his campaign.

When are they going to get to the issues his followers care about, silicone or water, or oil based lube?

I agree...it isn’t that Drudge is supposedly gay...but he’s not being neutral when it comes to this guy and he really ought to be.

The guy is a mayor of a minor city...being gay doesn’t qualify him to run this country.

I wonder what his constituents in Bend Over Indiana think about him ignoring their city to grandstand on a worldwide level.

Mayor Pete of Norte Dame (not South Bend) was elected when 8700 people voted. Really 8700 people? I believe South Bend has 103k...

FOX News and Wallace are now preaching to Democrats not Conservatives.

Fox is with the communists Democrats more than balanced. Wallace is a total jackass.

The Drudge treatment of the headlines about this town hall and Trump, is despicable. Drudge obviously has a crush on Mayor Peter.
