COLUMBIA, South Carolina — Aliyah Johnson stood petrified for several long seconds, mouth agape, eyes wide, as Mayor Pete Buttigieg walked in the door. When she finally shook off her paralysis, she barreled into his chest for an embrace before breaking into inconsolable sobs.
The 19-year-old Columbia resident had been looking in vain for Buttigieg all over the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention. When he made a surprise appearance at a meet-and-greet with black millennials at a bar called Truth, she knew it would be her chance.
She had never met him before, but Johnson needed to tell him her truth: That she had come out as pansexual in May, inspired in part by Buttigieg, who could be the first openly gay president. Her mother, a creationist Baptist, had rejected her completely. “I’m proud of you,” Buttigieg reassured her. “Keep going. You’re doing great.”
“He's literally helped me through a lot, even though he hasn't physically helped me,” Johnson later said. “Knowing that there are people like him out there in the world, it's helped me.”
The irony is that Buttigieg, an Episcopalian, comes closer than any candidate has in decades to fulfilling the role of the Jimmy Carter-esque pious Democrat. He talks easily of his faith, and of reclaiming religion from Republicans. He quotes the New Testament to tag some Republicans — specifically Vice President Mike Pence — as hypocrites for working with President Trump.
At Harvard, he studied under Sacvan Bercovitch, a scholar who extolled the Puritans. He recently advertised that his campaign is hiring a faith engagement director. In short, he speaks the language of religion — a quality that, all things being equal, should appeal to churchgoing voters.

“MAYOR PETE FACES A FAMILIAR AND “VICIOUS” ENEMY IN SOUTH CAROLINA: HOMOPHOBIA”
South Carolina faces a familiar and “vicious” enemy in mayor Pete: HOMOSEXUALS!
Once again, the left uses and corrupts our language.
Anyone who disapproves / dislikes of homosexuality is deemed “homophobic” - that is, afraid of them. Well, I, for one, am not afraid of them. What are they gonna do? Decorate my house in the wrong color? I simply don’t approve of them and wish they’d take their vile perversions back into the closet instead of corrupting our children with them.
Oh, did pete get an upgrade from gerbils?
He is also a spook.
Disagreement is H8 to them.
When normal Americans opposed Obama’s far-left totalitarian socialism, it wasn’t patriotism, it was racism.
When normal Americans opposed Hillary’s far-left totalitarian socialism, it wasn’t patriotism, it was sexism.
When normal Americans oppose Pete’s far-left totalitarian socialism, it isn’t patriotism, it is homophobia.
Thank God that America’s enemies are this clueless. So long as they don’t know what they are doing wrong, they are unlikely to come close in 2020. That’s a very good thing. If the globalists are within the margin of fraud and steal this election, declaring a (fraud-based) win for the thugs would almost certainly be at best the trigger for a hot civil war, and at worst the final end of the America as a free country.
He’s helping her like a bartender helps an alcoholic with another round on the house.
More cry bullying from leftists. It is all information warfare, folks, designed to make people feel bad for little peter and maybe even get a few of them to vote for him out of guilt.
Never believe a leftist...never listen to a leftist. They are your enemy.
JoMa
Maybe his “husband” will protect him.....
WTF are pansexuals?
