Buttigieg Blasts 'So-Called Conservative Christian Senators' Who Oppose Minimum Wage
PJ Media ^ | July 30, 2019 | Tyler O'Neil

Posted on 07/31/2019 5:47:24 AM PDT by C19fan

At the second round of Democratic debates on Tuesday evening, Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Ind., said opponents of raising the minimum wage are not Christians.

"The minimum wage is just too low. And so-called conservative Christian senators right now in the Senate are blocking a bill to raise the minimum wage when scripture says, 'Whoever oppresses the poor taunts their maker,'" Buttigieg declared, citing Proverbs 14:31.

What a self-righteous prick. What does he say to the workers who have zero income when they lose their jobs due to higher minimum wages. This is from someone who flaunts his sexual sin.

THIS is a prime example of using the Lord's name in vain!!!

This guy has something up his ass for Christians.

He can’t go 5 seconds without mentioning them.

Some sort of complex.

Why do liberals demand a “living wage” that is two or three times the amount of Social Security or military pensions?

Buttigieg is generous with other people’s money. The correct scripture for that is Exodus 20:15.
I am a big fan of charity, but there is no virtue in robbing others to give to the poor, and there is a negative value in receiving unneeded charity. Buttigieg disgusts me.

Enjoy your job in that side-show, Buttigieg.

If you claim to be a Christian but are proudly homosexual and you use the bible to condemn Christians who refuse to get on board with your socialist self-love agenda, well, you’re doing it wrong.

So... we’re supposed to trust somebody to run our country who can’t even figure out what to do with his own dick.

No thanks.

The Bible never says anything about the amount of wages one should pay. It merely says they should be paid when they are due - which at that time was the end of the day. I also note the Bible required the the rich and poor alike to pay the same amount for the census tax and the same percentage as their tithe.

We can’t question their faith or patriotism, but they can say anything they like about ours.

I see what you did there.

Mayor Pete has such a superficial knowledge of the Bible that he has no concept of what the word translated as 'poor' really connoted back then.

Even Satan himself quoted Scripture.
This demon-inspired azzclown is an abomination....period.
It’s NOT Christians he has an issue with, it’s God, Himself, that he has an issue with because God doesn’t condone his demonic lifestyle, and he cannot do anything to change that so he reflects his hate of God by taking it out on Christians.

No one can doubt that he believes in God, but no one should believe that he believes God.

Butt-gag is toast. Irrelevant Bible-Thumping such as this enamors none of the truly ‘Faithful’, and angers most the rest. He’s simply proven to be an incompetent small town mayor who can’t cut it in the big leagues.

Because they won’t/don’t sanction his homosexuality.

Indeed he is very brazen......what has our nation come to when we parade sodomy as a norm, even for President

May God have mercy.......
We exchange what is good and Holy
....for obscene and blasphemy

The government has no right to set an hourly rate of pay.

What a self-righteous prick.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

What do you expect from Butt-gig, he is an uncloaked homosexual and therefore his politics are like a little old lady’s . He is horribly prejudiced and also excludes people at the drop pf his hat as being bad.

A supercilious prig is Boot - edge-edge.Look what he has wrought inside his mayoralty of South Bend! Mayhem and division.

Butt gig is simply not a leader. He is as you say, a self righteous prig of the highest order.
