Pete Buttigieg officially announces 2020 presidential campaign
NBC News ^ | April 14, 2019 | Adam Edelman

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 he’d 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."

I’m trying to figure out why the enemedia has gone all-in to promote this guy. He obviously hasn’t a prayer in hell, so what’s the angle? Split the Sanders vote? Stalking horse for Clinton?

“...hoping to make history as the youngest-ever, and the first-ever openly gay, commander in chief.”

Wish in one hand, Shiite in the other. See which one fills up first.

Oy! These people!

It has the makings of a SNL skit back in the day.

First name is Peter (often slang for wang)

Last name has Butt in it

And he’s from South Bend

Because the media love gays and they know if they don’t support him the gays will protest and destroy any network and their advertisers.

When he kissed his male wife on stage after the announcement, the crowd went wild.

It used to be that Rhodes Scholars/intelligence officers, with tours in war zones would be people to admire.

I’m wondering if I even belong here on FR any more.

My #1 political goal is freedom (as it is described in the constitution). I am not here for religion or sexuality. I am fine with fighting opponents in the realm of politics but I’m just not comfortable with the homosexual hating here. The crude jokes are so old. I’m getting disgusted.

There is a huge difference between people who seek freedom to live their own way, who do not wish it for others, and people who wish we ALL could live our desired way (within the framework of not deliberately harming the other). ‘Freedom for me but not for thee’ just doesn’t work for me.

You guys are my friends but I’m more comfortable slamming phony gay politicians like Hillary and Obama, for their very phoniness. This Buttigieg is open, and I don’t see it terribly funny or horrible that he chooses to live his way. I see no reason to slam him for not being heterosexual.

I may be doing so at my own peril, but I cannot and will not be able to take Pete seriously.

And this is why.

And don’t forget. They now believe their own hype at the instant they create it.

Remember when Sarah Palin wasn’t qualified because she was just a mayor? Let’s see if he gets the same treatment...

I live in Indiana. This guy could not win a statewide office.

As for being an elected official in democrat stronghold South Bend, a piece of sh!t with a “D” next to it could get elected and re-elected there.

Him mocking Christianity was his concession speech.

You've been on this board for close to 20 years, like I have.

You know what the real agenda of homosexuals are. You've seen how homosexual marriage was forced down the nation's throats. The drag queens reading to children at libraries. The pride parades with children watching. Nobody here has NEVER called for violence against them.

So what if we make fun of them?
