South Bend mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg drew some backlash for his stance on mandatory vaccinations.

Buzzfeed reported that Buttigieg supports states' rights to mandate vaccinations, but also supports "some exceptions."

"The law of the land for more than a century has been that states may enforce mandatory vaccination for public safety to prevent the spread of a dangerous disease. Pete does support some exceptions, except during a public health emergency to prevent an outbreak," a spokesman for the South Bend mayor told Buzzfeed.

South Bend mayor...

I’m sure he bends south a lot.

The very thought of Buttgiggle bending in any stance makes me want to reach for the eye wash and mental floss.......

[dp0622]

LOL

What’s horrifying is he would still get 40 percent of the vote if he was the chosen candidate. At least.

To paraphrase Nancy Pelosi, a flaming bag of dog crap with a D beside it would get 43% of the vote.

[dp0622]

Isn’t it heartbreaking.

And that would be an improvement over the other choices.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Sadly you are right, I’d sooner the flaming bag of dog crap than any of the socialists.

There have always been “some exceptions”. It took Supreme Court cases to establish them.

What the hell happened to this country, anyway? I've updated my scorecard so many times, it turned to paper fuzz and blew away............🤔

#7. Butt’s father was a Marxist and writer about Communist International strategist Antonio Gramsci. Wonder how much of the old red rubbed off on this clown.

He's called Mayor Buttplug for a reason.

I don’t know man. I’m on the other side of 50 in a few weeks and that’s fine with me.

Glad to have grown up under Reagan.

Those days are gone.

[dp0622]

lol.

The good thing is we will get to see Barr today destroy the moron dems on the jud. committee.

I think there was a time when at least they had some bright minds on their side.

All they have now are white liberal idiots and minorities with IQs of 11.

Where was he on public health disease control when persons who’d been exposed to Ebola were refusing quarantine and flaunting visits to restaurants, etc?

Another victim puking in a parking lot at an apartment complex.

Thanks Obama

[right way right]

Oooh, media criticism!
He should ask Trump for some pointers on how to deal with that.
