All of the Democratic presidential candidates have condemned Donald Trump's racist comments directed at four congresswomen last week, and the chants of "send her back" directed at Rep. Ilhan Omar at a rally a day later, but Pete Buttigieg took it a step further on Saturday.

Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, was stumping in Iowa over the weekend, where he told ABC News that the issue of white supremacy -- an accusation often lobbed at Trump by the left -- "could be the lurking issue that ends this country."

The mayor said the current climate could escalate, going as far as to mention the Civil War.

"That is the only issue that almost ended this country. … We’ve had a lot challenges in this country, but the one that actually almost ended this country in the Civil War was white supremacy," Buttigieg said. "It could be the lurking issue that ends this country in the future, if we don’t wrangle it down in our time."

Really??? By the standards of the Left, Lincoln, the vast majority of his GOP party and the Union Army were white supremacists. They were against the expansion of the slave power, ending slavery, the Southern concept of aristocracy, and the preservation of the Union but they believed whites were the superior race.

Money quote: "The key to dealing with racial discussions in the country is honesty,"

Tell that to the dethroned Miss Michigan who stated the facts about violent crime.

Little Peter needs to get a sex change and darken his skin. Then he can join the Squat. If he does those things he/she MIGHT have a chance to be President. Like one in a million.

They are taking this “create” your own boogeyman wayyyyyy too far. The MSM bears a lot of responsibility for the propaganda it publishes.

[sauropod]

‘Mayor Pete’ (and I’m being kind) is getting on my last nerve.

I don’t care if he “served” (he rode a desk in Afghanistan).

He doesn’t have the right to lecture me and tell me that I enjoy “white privilege”.

Put a sock in it, Mayor Pete. And go home.

This so called rise of white supremacy is more than anything a defensive reaction against the obsession of the Left bashing whites, especially males, and their achievements. it is a reaction of the Left telling their favored racial groups to think as a group. The Left created this Frankenstein.

Shut up mr cumdumpster

[himno hero]

Buttigieg is an idiot.

The white supremacists collectivey are not even one one hundredths of one percent of the total population of the whites.

On the other hand, it is the Western European Christians , who were largely white, and their descendants who made all the advancements , achievements, accomplishments and progress for the modern world,
.
That is the root of America which Obama sought to destroy. Buttigieg too.

I’d have guessed sodomy. It is a much bigger real problem than mostly non-existent white supremacy.

[ontap]

Disingenuous bastard rails about white supremacy while he...a white guy ...runs for president!!!

[adorno]

The facts say something completely different.

Even with racists in our midst, the U.S. became the most successful country the world has ever known, and provided opportunities for all races and ethnic groups. No other country has ever come close. Buttergig speaks through his wrong end.

[richardtavor]

Self love could be the end of this country as well as all others. Buttgig might look within himself to see the log that is there.

[wastoute]

They keep going on about it they get what they are asking for.

[Alas Babylon!]

...if we don’t wrangle it down in our time.

How do you mean to do THAT?

Because I'll fight for my rights. Just because I'm white is no reason to suppress me anymore than a minority would be.

Getting along is a TWO-WAY street.

Typical tactic of a leftist to name call and demonize his enemy all the while pander to his friends.

Buy guns and ammo, folks. Demonizing like this ends up with large groups of people being put on trains to be liquidated if they do not fight from the beginning.

Pete Buttigieg has swallowed more seamen than Moby Dick.

Gee...and all this time I thought it would be rectal syphilis that would do so.

[rovenstinez]

Well, this can easily be fixed. Just like Elizabeth Warren said she is Pocahontas.. All we need to do is check the box that says Afro American, hey... I do identify. And by the way. I woke up this morning feeling a bit feminine. Smooth Sailing..from then on.

[MAGAthon]

all these Dems know how to get FakeNewsMSM coverage.

[Vision]

The only one talking or thinking about “white supremacy” is the divisive Left and divisive Media. It’s their current boogieman, next month it will be something different.
