Morning Joe Claims Buttigieg 'Mainstreams' Democrats, Ignores Hard-Left Positions
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 05/20/2019 6:30:48 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Has the liberal media ever met a Democrat it couldn't characterize as a centrist? Take Barack Obama. He had the most liberal voting record in the Senate. But that didn't stop Politico, for example, from in 2008 publishing "Obama’s steady centrism."

That same kind of false advertising was on display on today's Morning Joe regarding Pete Buttigieg. The panel was gaga over Buttigieg's town hall performance of last night on Fox News, leading Joe Scarborough to declare:

"This guy is going to play an important role in the mainstreaming of the Democratic Party for many years to come. And believe you me, that is exactly what he does, regardless of ideology, Mayor Pete mainstreams [the] Democratic Party."

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Buttigieg is hard-left. But as with all Dem candidates, the liberal media is trying to pass him off as “mainstream” or “centrist.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Buttigieg is the most dangerous Democrat to come along in a good while, more dangerous even than Obama. He can make outright MURDER sound wholesome and Christian and compassionate. And he is young enough to be influential for many, many years to come. We ignore him at our peril.

I caught a small snippet of Alfred E. Newman when he was talking about the rising costs of college. Lots of yada, yada, yada on how we needed to expand this program or that program to provide more aid. Not a word on how costs have risen massively to soak up every dollar of available aid.

They have no idea what a shit show this looks like to normal people. Even the guy’s name is fodder for ridicule. And his buddy... I mean, OMG how do you say “chasin’ butty egg egg” without ROFLing?

isn’t this the ultimate goal of the media though?

the little victories are just getting lefties elected. The big picture goal is to continuously shift their viewers left, by making what used to seem fringe and radical normal to them.

This guy has not even been slightly tested in the real world, he is riding a Beto Bubble of hard-left media pumping.

The Butt Egg Egg Show will not fare well when it is finally exposed to competition that isn’t just as insane as he is. Every time any of them talk they make another GOP campaign commercial, they are all so far left.

Two homosexual men “married” to each other is mainstream, and will appeal to voters. Got it.

The dems feel like they need a minority of some sort but also a white guy because they stereotype blue collar people as being neanderthals that won't vote for a woman or black guy. Mayor Pete is a white gay guy who has a long record of no achievements, just perfect for the current election.

Fact is that blacks are never going to vote for a man with a husband, not any time soon. Second fact is that blue collar workers aren't stupid cavemen and they have minds. They won't vote for Mayor Pete because he's got male genitals, is white, and not a republican. Not good enough to go back to living on the edge of financial ruin for years on end like they had been doing prior to 2017.

A gay man married to a man who clearly disputes both Christian and American values is mainstream to this imbecile?

Wishful thinking and propaganda.
The Left wants to drive the Overton Windows far enough Left to make Buttgig a ‘centrist.’

“”This guy is going to play an important role in the mainstreaming of the Democratic Party for many years to come. And believe you me, that is exactly what he does, regardless of ideology, Mayor Pete mainstreams [the] Democratic Party.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Joe saying that most democrats are homosexuals?

And just like Obama, you will NEVER hear anything critical from the MSM.
The Gay Mafia has picked their candidate and nothing is going to stand in their way.

Drudge really loves “Mayor Peter” for some reason.

He appeals mainly to the media and the coasts, like every other leftie.
