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’m proud that President Trump has achieved the best economic results and lowest unemployment rates for African-Americans and Latinos in the history of our country.
If that makes me a racist then ok I guess I’m a racist.
Come up with something original Mr. Butt gig. This has been thrown at us ad infinitum for half a century now. We have pretty thick skins at this point and we ain’t going anywhere.
Buttgigi is a joke.
Liberals have gotten to the point where insults are more important than winning.
I’ll take it.
Well, Buttplug knows he has lost, he used the “R” word.
Bwaaaaahaaaaaahaaaaaaaa!
Hey Pete more than 63 million people think that you are an asshole!
Pete, you mean if an Asian, a black, an Alaskan Native and a Pacific Islander voted for Trump, they are racists? I only thought whites are...
I took me a while to realize it, but its true for all of the Dems, and any of the anti 2nd Amendment Republicans as well ...
I suppose this is a challenge for us to all switch sides and vote for the queer to prove we aren’t racist or something like that?
Too late Pete. Everyone knows you’re a white supremacist. You can’t fool them.

Not racist, but kinda sick of homos...

I have always told people that I am a racist, a HUMAN RACIST.
Was just asked recently about my race by one of those census officers (live in a remote area so she came out to the house).
She asked me what race are you?
I answered “HUMAN”, you should have seen the look on her face, priceless.
