Amid Iowa caucus chaos, Pete Buttigieg claims victory and shrugs off criticism
CBS News ^ | February 4, 2020 | Staff

After Monday night's caucus difficulties left Democrats in Iowa and around the country confused and frustrated, candidate Pete Buttigieg expressed confidence that he was "victorious." He and several other 2020 Democrats left Iowa for New Hampshire overnight to begin campaigning for next week's primary after several of them also expressed optimism in their own results.

Buttigieg's confident claim gave rise to the Twitter hashtag #MayorCheat after he gave a victory speech despite the chaos over the final results. When asked if he perhaps made the call prematurely, Buttigieg shrugged off criticism.

"Looking at what happened last night, looking at all of the data that we've got, it was an extraordinary night and we are absolutely victorious coming into New Hampshire," he said.

I thought it was pronounced “Butt Guy” or “Butt Giggity”.

I wonder what by what power does a court has to stop the Iowa Democratic party from releasing results? This is not a primary where the state is involved in the process.

He probably came in second to Sanders, but he clearly beat Biden, and probably beat Warren — and in that circumstance, I would have declared victory if I were him; he got more votes in this caucus than he did in any of his other elections.

You are right.

At the very least, mental disorders like homosexual lifestyle choices should NOT be celebrated, promoted or forced onto society.

Evil homosexual pedophiles like michael jackson SHOULD have been jailed or institutionalized....to protect “the children”.

God has perfect wisdom and stated the homosexual lifestyle choice is so evil, it’s an obamanation.

Until a human being has more perfect wisdom than God, I’ll side with Him.

btw, if you’re “just askin”, are you trying to defend that evil? Just askin’...

I am not defending or endorsing homosexuality. I am saying it’s a private matter except of course if there are children or rape involved. But I agree we shouldn't’t be made to celebrate it. If someone wants to be a homosexual, and be discreet about it, it’s their business not mine or yours
