Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg ignited a backlash on Twitter, particularly among people of color, after he claimed that the country’s next president needed to embody the values of “the American Heartland.”
“In the face of unprecedented challenges, we need a president whose vision was shaped by the American Heartland rather than the ineffective Washington politics we’ve come to know and expect,” Mr. Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, tweeted to his 1.6 million followers Wednesday afternoon.
As of Thursday morning, the tweet racked up only 1,300 retweets and a whopping 10,600 replies, with some users accusing Mr. Buttigieg of casual racism and furthering deepening his divide with the black community.

He’s a butt-whistle, himself.
Reap. Sow.
Watching them eat their own is better than any sport!
Who is Pete Buttjuice?
Buttigieg should pull his head out and get some air.
Why would anyone want to do so? LOL
Freak.

So true.
And so wonderful.
What a great morning it is in the Trump City On A Hill.
People of color don’t live in the ‘American Heartland’? News to me, but good to see that the Sodomite is getting no traction with them.
“The left is not made up of friends and allies. It’s made up of competing parasites.”
Sorry Butty. There aren’t any politicians that “embody” the values of America’s Heartland. America’s Heartland works for a living doing an honest day’s work and doesn’t steal from those around them. Looks like you’re SOL little Butty.
Because he puts things in there that most guys wouldn't.
There's more to the story, too.
Petie you don’t represent the values of anything other then about maybe 11% of the most radical extremist fringe of this country.
Seriously? This is a parody right?
Another story about Buttigig “not connecting” with black voters, yet nary a hint of a breath of the possibility that his open homosexuality has anything to do with it.
American heartland... Naval intelligence, CIA connected consulting firm, taking it up the ass from another man.
Yeah, that’s totally “heartland”.
Buttplug musta got a’holt of a bad weener in a Turkish bathhouse.
in that case he should pull out...
