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.

I don’t do tag lines. No offense..
Pete, PLEASE keep shouting that NONSENSE “from the rooftops”, as you will cost your party every election for a generation!!!

Irrelevant faggie.
Arrogant, too. Doesn’t realize he has just had his Deplorables moment by alienating half of the electorate.
Pander Dork
Without reading all of the article.... and not finding my answer..... where? WHERE? do they get racist? If it is supposed to scare us off.... it doesn’t work with sensible people who don’t listen to name calling and certainly don’t let it bother us..
But where do they link Trump’s voters to racism? He has done more for the black race than any democrat ever did.
And I can tell you I don’t like that pete he is one condescending idiot... much like Obama... they have something in their craw that turns them ugly.
I long ago stopped giving a damn about what label people want to slap on me for my political views. I know what’s in my heart, and they can, as my mother says, “go shit in their hat”.
My my, such "concern."
So the butt pumper must save us from the evilness of an honest white straight Christian male.
Such nobleness!
What a little sjw trooper!!
Let's all chip in and ship him a case of Clorox bleach.
.
...and we also don’t like self-righteous little sodomites.
Prejudice isn't a very good look for the party that seems to think of themselves as the keepers of modernity and virtue.
How to lose 63 million votes with one stupid remark.
Racists
Deplorables
We are. We all hate the race of moronic Clymers. Especially ones that fool others into letting them run anything.
What racism is is really a form of tribalism. Whites seem to be the least tribal of all races which doesn’t mean whites can’t be tribalistic too.
This is coming from the candidate of a party that runs the cities where blacks are murdered in large numbers, and which promotes policies that have resulted in aborting over half of them.
We are all racist but all homosexuals are normal
Got it
63 million are not racists,
but rather, “Not Marxists”.
Give one example Saint Peter.
It’s ok for buttplug to call 63 million Americans racist. But if 1 of those 63 million calls buttplug a fag...that would be nuclear....
Must be weird - knowing that 63 MILLION people probably think youre a babbling, butt-plug fool...
Ehh, Pete?
