SOUTH BEND, Ind. Pete Buttigieg, the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, officially announced his presidential bid Sunday afternoon, hoping to make history as the youngest-ever, and the first-ever openly gay, commander in chief.
Speaking to a standing-room-only crowd inside a downtown tech hub that had once been the home of a long-ago-shuttered Studebaker car factory, Buttigieg promised to bring to the country the kind of change and innovation hed helped to instill in his native South Bend.
"My name is Pete Buttigieg. They call me Mayor Pete. I am a proud son of South Bend, Indiana. And I am running for President of the United States," he said, prompting a wave of adoring screams from the crowd. "I recognize the audacity of doing this as a Midwestern millennial mayor. More than a little bold at age 37 to seek the highest office in the land."

“Im trying to figure out why the enemedia has gone all-in to promote this guy. He obviously hasnt a prayer in hell, so whats the angle? Split the Sanders vote? Stalking horse for Clinton?”
I’ll take “What is the sexual orientation of the majority of the media?” for $1000 Alex.
Peter.
Butt.
South Bend(over)
Gag.
Nope....Obama and his wife Michael were the first.
Is this a sick veiled parallel to him thinking he is a messiah do you suppose? Think about it...how many candidates announce their running on a Sunday?
I live in South Bend. This is an embarrassment.
My gut tells me it his attacks on Pence which endears him to the leftist media.
Petes campaign tag line:
Bend Over America!
Dems liked Obozo because he was a first to assuage their liberal racist guilt. Now Buttzo assuages their liberal gay guilt. Same song different singer. Libs pack more guilt per individual then 1000 of us.
Must... not... make... joke....
This guy, really, Id rather just argue his politics.
Agree, but I wont be surprised if as his campaign progresses, part of his politics will be to deflect policy criticisms by accusing those critics of anti-gay bias/discrimination
He’s already busy playing the card that VP Pence is violently anti-gay. Big thread on Facebook about it.
There is nothing to him. The press has decided that he is the one. The press is not saying anything bad about this guy. The gay lobby is going to black ball anyone to disparages him in any way. Beto is gone. But lets see if the old ladies and black guys vote for him. The press is trying very hard. They want someone else besides Biden or Bernie. They want the first gay president. They want Trump to comment on him. Trump should act like he doesn’t even exist.
This man is part of an aggressive movement to limit freedom of thought and speech. He does not want to serve openly, he wants to control everything that comes out of your mouth and your actions. He also wants to reengineer the social fabric of humanity....the union of man and woman. He is alreeady assaultiing the traditional beliefs of the church and offering a phony, unbiblical plan of salvation. He is a tool of everything evil...keep thinking the way you do. You are so open minded
He has good oral skills. And anal skills, I suppose.
Buttigieg 2020: “We’re right behind you, America!
I watched some of his video, and all I could think of was the scene in “Rudy”, where Rudy finally ran out on the field to everyone cheering, and Jon Favreau yells “He’s so little.”
It isn't his freedom I and many others oppose. If you haven't noticed, the political bullying of homosexuals that has caused businesses to close and people to be fired just because their opinion of homosexuals deviates from the homosexual lobby. His sexual orientation is the lynchpin of his campaign I do not doubt for a second that, if in the White House, we would see heterosexual freedoms erode, including those allegedly protected by the first and fourth amendments of the Constitution. Furthermore, his intention to drag the name of my Christian God through the mud with his blasphemy is personally abhorrent and offensive. I have a brother who is homosexual, who lives his life in Florida with his partner but he does not spend his life openly flaunting his lifestyle for personal or professional gain. I have known other gays I get along well with and maintain a friendship with. But these are not trying to ban Christian businesses or seek to punish those with anti-LGBT opinions. Until Mayor Pete gets out of the race, you'll need a tough stomach instead of thin skin.
