The former South Bend mayor started his speech at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner, the state Democratic Party’s biggest annual fundraiser, on Saturday night with a thinly veiled shot at former Vice President Joe Biden, who all but conceded the prior night that he’s unlikely to win the primary on Feb. 11.
“I know some are asking, what business does the South Bend mayor have seeking the highest office in the land,” Buttigieg started, addressing Biden without mentioning him by name. “You don’t have an office in Washington, you don’t have decades of experience in the establishment, the city you are the mayor of isn’t even the biggest city in the country.”
“It is more like Manchester, New Hampshire,” he said, to applause.
Buttigieg’s comments come as Biden escalated attacks on the 38-year old former mayor just one day after they sparred during the eight Democratic debate. The former VP’s campaign, in desperate need of a primary boost after coming in fourth place in the Iowa caucuses, released a new digital ad appearing to minimize his opponent’s experience as a local official in Indiana.
The spot, titled, “Pete's Record,” contrasts Biden and Buttigieg’s records—with a spotlight on Biden’s time negotiating significant pieces of legislation under former President Barack Obama compared to the relatively smaller accomplishments of a small city in Indiana.
Buttigieg, who has enjoyed a significant post-Iowa polling boost, successfully twisted the ad spot to his advantage, winning roaring applause.
“To which I say, that is very much the point, because Americans in small, rural towns and industrial communities and yes, in our biggest cities, are tired of being reduced to a punchline by Washington politicians, and ready for someone to take the voice to the American capital.

“Well, Manchester is known as the “Queen City”, IIRC”.
Not so much today, but yes it was.
“Manch-Vegas” more—today.
“He’s short on experience. He wouldn’t know how to shake down a foreign country for a cushy family job.”
When I lived in Rhode Island New England was well known to be the gay capital on the East Coast. Lots of girly type men up there for sure! Glad I was outta there after one year!!
They also have a very condescending attitude toward anyone south of New england...A business associate said she hated traveling south to do business as she couldn’t stand the low level mindset of the people doing business there.
Exactly like Californians, as the libs in Massachusetts voted for laws and regs they eventually could no longer live under they moved into NH and continued their same behavior there that caused them to leave Massachusetts.
Libs eventually vote themselves into a position they can no longer personally afford and then relocate and continue to vote the same way in their new location.
Florida is a swing state because of this. The retirees who relocate their vote exactly as they did in the northern states they came from. Libs are cancer that metastasizes from state to state.
I know....there’s just so many things ‘wrong’ about how that would play out. Imagine what security will go through protecting those two, and the white house staff catering to them... and the Hollywood crowd they’ll be bringing there for sure!
Pete sleeps face down. Ewwww!
I thought his name was buttisgood
All I can say is that homosexual marriage denies children the right to be raised by their mother or father.
That the USA would allow adults by law to deny children their right to their mother or father is beyond abhorrent.
Biden is one slip of the tongue from making a very insensitive comment about gays. You just know he’s thinking it. Here’s an idea. “Do you want a President wearing a tu-tu when he meets Putin?”
More popcorn.
That’s a good one.
Slo-Joe seems to be thinking...
“I shouldn’t have snuck up behind Peter and sniffed his hair.”
Faggies are less than two percent of the population.
But they have ruined the lives of thousands of who publicly objected to their lifestyle.
I hope Mayor Buttifag gets the Dem nomination. Millions will pull the lever against his wicked lifestyle.
I wonder if Pete plays the husband or the wife?
Lol
Well, being a New Englander although I’ve been out of there for decades, I can tell you there are parts of it that would remind you of “Deliverance”.
Biden’s staff is busy telling what not to do.....
That will make him more likely to do it—probably with some 1950s slur most of us won’t even remember!
The best I’ve been able to figure it is that when two gay men think they’re married, they are both a husband. Whatever the heck that means.
How did it backfire? Because South Bend is as tiny as Manchester? The little poofta still ran it into the ground. It is one of the most violent small cities in America.
There has been specualtion about the gender of a previous first lady. Just sayin’.
“...Here’s an idea. “Do you want a President wearing a tu-tu when he meets Putin?”...”
Was thinking about this image today. Can you imagine the mindset of Xi of China or Putin of Russia facing the image of a couple of gays, who look like high-school sophomores, living in the White House, trying to represent the most powerful nation in the world...in any matter?
No contest....
