Democratic 2020 presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg, in an interview that aired Sunday, said President Trump had slandered American troops by considering pardoning servicemen accused of war crimes -- and said the proposal threatened to undermine the country’s “legal and moral” foundations.

“When you serve, you are agreeing to serve the Constitution and uphold the law and, frankly, his idea that being sent to fight makes you automatically into some kind of war criminal is a slander against veterans that could come only from somebody who never served,” the South Bend, Ind., mayor said on ABC News’ “This Week.”

Buttigieg, an Afghanistan War veteran, was responding to remarks Trump made Friday in which the president said he was “looking” at possible pardons. The New York Times had first reported Trump was considering granting pardons to soldiers accused of war crimes around Memorial Day.

“Some of these soldiers are people that have fought hard and long,” Trump told reporters. “You know, we teach them how to be great fighters, and then when they fight, sometimes they get really treated very unfairly.”

Trump said he was considering pardons for “two or three of them” but said he hadn’t yet made a decision.

Buttegieg....”Pitcher or Catcher”? Does he “ButtyBoy” get a “Red Foxx” “Thumbs up or a Trembling hand”? Is Mayor Pete a “Pajama Boy or Pajama Girl”? Does Jim Carrey run out of the bathroom as he did in “Ace Ventura, Pet Detective” when he stands next to Mayor, Pete in the “Mens Bathroom”? Do Chris Wallace and Mayor, Pete have a thing for each other? Interesting questions...to say the least.

Butt, butt, butt...

That’s what HE said. 😁

[Oldexpat]

Strictly a staff intelligence officer. Only outside the wire in Kabul. Never in combat. Did not earn Navy Combat action ribbon CAR.

"...He’s a clueless kid who spouts what he is told without an ounce of comprehension. What the President said is in no way Related to what the three dollar bill said."

Very true.

But this is a prelude to the DemonRat "debates". It won't be a compare and contrast between candidates, it will be a contest about who can tell the BIGGEST LIES about our President.

When Buttplug first came on the scene, the media portrayed him as a Marine who saw combat in Afghanistan.

Recently it was reported that he was in the Naval Reserve.

Sounds like the media has been puffing up Butt-a-bang from the get go.

One wonders how Mayor Little Peter is able to
speak out his butwhole. Is Mr Bootygig anal
retentive or what?

[CodeToad]

They were accused by Obama, and THAT is the ultimate insult and injustice.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Most of those men were found guilty due to one word, “politics.” One of Obummer’s main priorities was Muslim appeasement and these men being found guilty were a big part of it. I never saw one iota of proof that these stupid moves ever helped our country one bit.

It’s great to have a President now who truly has the troop’s back unlike the previous admin who only had it to stick a knife in it ( or something else ). It’s awesome that President Trump does the right thing whether it polls well or not. That it upsets the left is a blessing and a bonus.

[Salman]

The Democrats (not just Pete Butt) want political show trials.

[rhubarbk]

You are CORRECT Sir!!!

[Carl Vehse]

Is there any reason FoxNews needs to report every time Buttplug opens his... mouth?

[Governor Dinwiddie]

"What exactly did Buttigieg do in Afghanistan? Stuff that might be similar to what Bowe Bergdahl did, maybe . . . ?"

What did Mayor Pete, the boyish homo do in Afghanisgtan? Why "Bacha bazi" of course! Boy Pete offered himself up to be ravaged by his Afghan hosts:

Bacha bāzī (Dari: بچه بازی‎, lit. "boy play"; from بچه bacheh, "boy", and بازی play, "game") is a slang term in Afghanistan for a wide variety of activities involving sexual relations between older men and younger adolescent men, or boys. The practitioner is commonly called bacha baz (meaning "boy play" in Dari) or simply bach.

[genghis]

Correct but does he know what slander means? He must have gone to Harvard jr. college

[billyboy15]

Of course they will lie. Let them. As long as the president and his team are prepared they can handle it. They certainly have the experience after 2+ yrs of it.

[SaxxonWoods]

What does Buttplug know about how the military feels?

He should ask them, the ego freak.

[Bonemaker]

“He should keep hid mouth shut period.”

It makes his “husband” horny when he opens it.

[SaxxonWoods]

They splash every radical pronouncement across the web.

Who knows, maybe it helps, though I don’t think that’s why it’s being done.
