Iran Might Have Shot Down a Ukrainian Airliner, But Pete Buttigieg Blames America
PJ Media ^ | 01/10/2020 | Jim Treacher

Posted on 01/10/2020 7:31:08 AM PST by SeekAndFind

We're less than two weeks into 2020, but we already have a statement that definitively sums up the current state of the Democratic Party.

There is now evidence that the Ukrainian airliner that crashed in Tehran on Tuesday was shot down by a Russian-built surface-to-air missile, such as those used by Iran's anti-aircraft system. And guess whose fault that is, according to Mayor Pete?

A candidate for president of the United States just blamed the United States for Iran shooting down a commercial airliner and killing dozens of civilians. Buttigieg could've just expressed his condolences. He could've said nothing at all. Instead, he decided to blame his own country for the actions of one of its enemies. That was his instinct. It's not really a surprise, but it's informative to have documented proof of it.

Iran did this. It's Iran's fault. But Dems can't say so because everything has to be Trump's fault.

"Country over party." Ha!

Is this the sort of wisdom we could expect from a President Buttigieg? Are Dems really this nostalgic for Barack Obama and his worldwide apology tour?

And now will come the backpedaling, the insistence that Buttigieg didn't mean what he very clearly said, the counterattacks that his critics are homophobic, jingoistic warmongers, etc. It's all just so tedious.

P.S.

If this guy were ever to become president, you can be sure he would bend over fully, and encourage his true love and masters to do with him as they wish.

While Trump is the Alpha Male, buttygeeg is the Zeta Non-male.

“military tit for tat”

Let me see. The orchestrated attack on a US embassy and assets. We respond with one bomb maybe two. Iran fires back with 15 to 22 ballistic missiles and in their frothing fit shoots down a civilian aircraft. How is that tit for tat?
That used to be called a declaration of war. Hell the Benghazi debacle should have had US tank divisions rolling through cleaning that place out.

I am astounded at the lack of reasoning and utter contempt for the US from these so called candidates.

Is this an Alinsky tactic?

In Thursday night’s (June 27 2019) Democratic debate, Buttigieg was asked about his failure to bring greater diversity to South Bend police. He said he “couldn’t get it done”.

Gee Pete, Mayor for 7 years and “couldn’t get it done” as the Mayor of a town of 100,000 people.

HOW DO YOU EXPERCT TO RUN THE COUNTRY?

Guess we will never know because regarding winning the Democratic Nomination - you “couldn’t get it done”!

Hey Petey.

You were in the military. Don’t you think the Iranians were on high alert for any form of aircraft in their space, and more than likely didn’t account for commercial flights.

Also, the Ukranian government, NATO, the UN should be passing judgment, not some US mayor.

Petey’s intel career must have been lacking in something.

He’s better ignored and marginalized. Let him sit in his mess.

He's used to playing in feces, so it shouldn't be too much of a stretch for him.

Mayor buttplug has morality than any of us because he is Pastor Pete. He knows that Leviticus 20:13 is superceded by his perverted holiness, Pastor Pete.

His darlin’ “hubby” has managed to push this dolt’s a@@ up to his cranium, displacing what little neural tissue that used to reside there. “Talking outta his a@@” has taken on a whole new meaning with Buttplug here.

It’s like a mother-in-law blaming her son-in-law for not foreseeing that a drunk driver would hit her daughter.

I recall reading a couple of weeks ago that during his service time in AFG he was the driver for his officer.

Doubtful he ever had any combat experience. He was supposedly an intel analyst then.
