Perhaps Pete is trying to hypnotize Sharpton?

South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg responded Sunday after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., took issue with the 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful's approach to fundraising.
The far-left congresswoman accused Buttigieg of protecting a system of "big money politics" instead of trying to make it a thing of the past, touting the merits of "small-dollar grassroots campaigns," which she said were more successful than his. Buttigieg said he's quite familiar with grassroots campaigning, but said it will take more than that for Democrats to succeed in 2020.
“Well, first of all, you don’t go from mayor of South Bend to a competitive presidential candidate without knowing a thing or two about grassroots campaigning," Buttigieg told "Fox News Sunday" in response to Ocasio-Cortez's tweet, posted last week. "My campaign is fueled by the contributions of almost 600,000 individual donors and most of those are small contributions."
Ocasio-Cortez posted her remark while retweeting a quote from Buttigeg that criticized Sen. Elizabeth Warren's plan to stay away from large donations. Buttigieg had said, "We're not going to beat Trump with pocket change." Ocasio-Cortez described that comment as insulting to small donors, but Buttigieg explained his stance on Sunday.
"What I’m saying is we can’t go into this fight against Donald Trump with one hand tied behind our back," he said, pointing out Trump and his supporters have raised $125 million. "They will pull out all of the stops to stay in power, and I think we have a responsibility to the country to make sure that we go into this fight as Democrats with everything that we've got and not unilaterally disarm it."

What Butterbutt? Huh? Can’t hear you.
Blah blah blah, Little Pete. You will never be the nominee, you’re stuck hard at 5 to 6 percent.
BTW, You have virtually ZERO support among blacks who are repulsed by your “I’m a good Christian Sodomite, in fact I’m a better Christian than you are!” act.
As if Buttigieg isn’t himself part of the far left. I guess the strategy is to cast AOC as the “far far left” to try to make the extreme far left look moderate by comparison when in fact they are every bit the extremists they always were. The Dems had a couple of candidates running that were not far left - they weren’t given the time of day and ridiculed for suggesting that proposals that cost more money than the value of the entire nation’s GDP weren’t viable.
AOC has no problem finding enough campaign donations to launder to her boyfriend. She has her standards about where the cash comes from though.
Little Pete’s family are Maltese chicken farmers and of Muslim decent.
Lmao. Mr invoking God supports abortion and homosex now complains of left wing takfiris after him.
The failed mayor of South Bend, IN is going to retire very rich at a young age after he loses the Presidential Primary. Mayor Butthead has been draining the Hollywood far left crowd for big bucks that he will keep in his bank account after the election.
At least he won’t be Mayor of South Bend - hopefully he heads to West Hollywood.
Is this clown’s name really pronounced “butt judge?”
I hear it’s pronounced “Boot-edge-edge” or possibly “Boot-i-gig”. Not sure which but “butt judge” might be most fitting.
Sounds like he is criticizing the Dems’ race to the Far Left, in which case he has a point. America is not going to vote for a candidate who openly champions confiscating wealth.
Perhaps Pete is trying to hypnotize Sharpton?
AKA Butterbutt.
Where do these loons come from?
