Former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg has repeatedly said those who support President Donald Trump are racist. CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday asked Buttigieg if he regretted making those comments.
"Republicans have been seizing, including in a new Trump ad, a statement you made that 'Anyone who supported this president is, at best, looking the other way on racism.' You've also said that on my show," Tapper explained. "That's almost 63 million Americans who you're painting with a pretty broad brush. Do you regret saying that at all?"
Buttigieg didn't hesitate before he responded.
"No. I'm very concerned about the racial division that this president has fostered," the 2020 Democratic candidate explained. "And I'm meeting a lot of voters who are no longer willing to look the other way on that, looking for a new political home."
Democrats, like Buttigieg, continually say Trump supporters are racist. It's because they fail to understand that Trump supporters come from various backgrounds. Some are white, some are black, some are Hispanic. There are straight supporters, gay supporters. Some supporters were born in the United States while others are naturalized citizens. The point, however, is simple: the policies Trump has implemented – like closing the border and tackling illegal immigration, lowering taxes and removing regulations – has benefited people of every race, creed, religion and gender. When a policy is successful, it transcends across party lines, races, religions and genders.
Buttigieg can call Trump supporters racist all he wants. He's the one who black voters take issue with all while President Trump has delivered record low unemployment rates for blacks and Hispanics.

F U butt plug
Democrats are so delusional.
Absolute moron.
Typical democrat. Projecting his faults onto his opponents.
Fact is, race relations in South Bend under buttfug have been a disaster.
Racist and deplorable. Oh....to be everything to everyone.
And we still know Pete’s a dumb*ss.
If all Rs are racist, then all Ds are criminals.
Go F yourself Maltese dork.
Democrats are so delusional.
The only racial division is being fostered by the left. They continually divide people into groups and preach victimology and identity politics.
Racist deplorables.
They hate you and I, folks. Buy weapons and ammo, the more the better and do not give them up.
Petey would murder you in a second using the ATF or the FBI and he would easily cover it up. That is what leftist dictators do.
JoMa
See my tag line.

NO, they do not “fail to understand”. They LIE.
I can only suggest the words of Harry Truman, “the son-of-a-bitch is no good.”
Buttplug should have been asked to provide ONE specific example of Trump’s racism.
Well there are 65 million lost votes.
Then I’m proud to be a racist and believe all races should be treated exactly the same under the law.
A Media-idiot asked Bubba Clinton briefs or boxers? When is one going to ask Buttplug top or bottom?
