Because the MSM think Buttman is one of their own or what they see as an archetype. Buttman is from north of the Mason-Dixon Line, son of a commie Notre Dame professor, valedictorian of his HS, Harvard undergrad then Rhodes Scholar, and a fab married gay man. Of course the MSM luvs how he supposedly can speak 7 languages. I could not think of a better candidate the MSM would swoon over except for Obama.

The media got great mileage out of accusing any complaint or dissent about Obama as “racism”. They are hoping to do the same again with Mayor Pete except the word will be “homophobia” or (for those who aren’t polysyllabic) “hate”.
All those anti-discrimination and fairness laws passed in the last decade will be turned on their heads to silence even the faintest criticism.

Because the depth of analysis carried on by the media is about as deep as a mud puddle, and Beto’s dried up.

Oh but Beto gave them HIMSELF! He was All In. He Skateboarded!

Having stripped the Kennedyesque Texan of his novelty, the press corps has dumped him for the Kennedyesque Hoosier like a speed-dater on the rebound from a Tinder relationship gone bad.

Happy to see they’re putting their chips on a militant homosexual man with a husband and a name that sounds like “booty gig.”

The media is riddled with a ridiculously disproportionate number of homosexuals. Buttman is one of their own. Hell, he may have literally had sex with a few of them already.

Do Democraps have ANYBODY today who is just an average American? It reminds me of that show I saw when I was a kid, Rudolph the Red nose Reindeer and Rudolph visits the Island of misfit toys. That's the democraps running today.

Someone on a liberal site I frequent said that is no way they will nominate Buttman. He was dead serious.
Someone asked him why, and his dead serious answer was, “his name”.
He’s right.
To: C19fan
hes an old persons idea of what a young person should be like As a soon to be old person, I can say that I NEVER once thought that a young person should be a radical faggot baby killer.

He’s right.
And it’s why everyone calls him Mayor Pete. :)
If you call him by his last name in liberal circles that like him, you will be treated the same as when you called obama “Hussein”.

I understand the media isn’t allowed to approach the elephant in the room. BUT, no Christian will vote for a homosexual man with a husband. But, shhhh ... don’t tell them. It’ll be fun to watch them melt down when Butgig loses bigly.

Beto is an empty-headed narcissist. “Mayor Pete” is intelligent and coherent. Start worrying.
