Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg “overstated” his partnerships with black-owned businesses in South Carolina as he tries to improve his standing with minority voters, according to a report.

The former South Bend mayor wrote in an op-ed last week in The State, a South Carolina newspaper, that his campaign had “proudly partnered with local businesses like Diane’s Kitchen in Chester, Atlantis Restaurant in Moncks Corner and the Fair Deal Grocery on Charleston’s Eastside.”

The problem, however, is that two of those businesses denied to ABC News that they had forged any sort of partnership with the candidate.

"Overstated" - an acceptable synonym for "lied" - unless you're a lefty, of course.

Liar, liar. Pants on...well, let’s not go there.

Didn’t his campaign get dinged a few weeks ago for claiming endorsements from people who never “objected” to his endorsement overtures? Perhaps he should see how many of his campaign staff developed their exaggeration skills through resume “enhancement”.

Hey, he’s the mayor of a major Midwestern city dontcha know... (One that wants to grow up to be just like Detroit or Chicago.)

South Bendover is hardly a major city, it has half the population of Richmond VA.

I still remember the discussion about South Bend-—back when America made real cars...

The joke was that union auto workers were sitting on their porches waiting for Studebaker to come back from Canada.

Yes, the ABC link speaks of several such.

Worse but likewise, he invokes the Bible for support, which is also a lie, and shows what one can do out of want for confirmation.
