Politico Reveals Pete Buttigieg's Media Hype Campaign
Newsbusters ^ | April 29, 2019 | P.J. Gladnick

In case you're curious about the mysterious rise of South Bend, Indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg in the Democrat presidential polls recently, Politico has revealed it was not so much because of grassroots support but much more due to an incredibly intensive campaign for media attention.  The person behind this media hype campaign appears to be one Lis Smith, a well-connected and hyperactive Democrat operative with a lot of political experience. 

So if you think that Buttigieg's recent poll surge is due to his political positions, you are probably wrong. Politico writer David Freedlander revealed on Monday how the media was willingly manipulated to pay attention to Buttigieg's campaign in "‘I Want Him on Everything’: Meet the Woman Behind the Buttigieg Media Frenzy." The subtitle explains a bit further: "How hard-charging New York operative Lis Smith helped turn an obscure Indiana mayor into a national name."

It’s probably due to Mayor Pooft Buttysludges missionary position.

MSM-Democrats are highly deferential to homosexuals under any circumstances.

The media creates a false picture of a candidate and then repeats it over and over, until the idiot public actually believes it.

They claimed bammy was an America-loving committed Christian. No bigger lie was ever created.

“media was willingly manipulated”
Now that was an excellent characterization of reality.

Conservatives get an anal exam.
Libs experience credulity, accorded with liberality.

Hence the Booty Judge love swirling sashay.

After the fundraiser, Buttigieg is going to rush off to 30 Rock to do Maddow, then in the morning New Day on CNN, and then fly to Iowa, then do “Morning Joe” when he’s back.” [to NYC? Ind? Outer Space?]

Doesn’t the Moanin’ Schmoe work from Fla.?

Good article. You could make one throw up a little when pondering Peter. Nicely done.

I wonder if she made the Spitz take the intensive STD test pornstars take. Imagine how many hookers the slimeball has been with.

This is wrong of me but she sure looks like she is ready to spit.
On a more serious note, this woman has the look of someone who has worked hard to get where she is...on her back.

I know you can beat it, you can cast it aside and behind.

We got peanut butter up in the rehab, dog.

So peanut butter is like the methadone for crack?
