Buttigieg Refuses To Apologize For Bashing Millions Of Americans

A President is supposed to serve the American people, all of them. So most Politicians know that they shouldn’t be attacking the voters, as they sometimes can be swayed to their side and, more importantly, if they win they will have to serve them. But Presidential Candidate Pete Buttigieg feels that there is no problem in bashing half of the country. He claims Trump supporters are racists and when given the chance to correct his stance he doubled down.

Buttigieg appeared on CNN’s “State of the Union” with host Jake Tapper where they discussed his claim about Trump supporters.

“One of your closing arguments in Iowa is that you can win over Republican voters. I know a number of your precinct captains are former Trump voters something like 40 something. But Republicans have been seizing, including in a new Trump ad, on a statement you made, saying, ‘Anyone who supported this President is, at best, looking the other way on racism.’ You’ve also said that on my show. That’s almost 63 million Americans who you’re painting with a pretty broad brush. Do you regret saying that at all?” Tapper asked Buttigieg.

No, I’m very concerned about the racial division that this president has fostered, and I’m meeting a lot of voters who are no longer willing to look the other way on that, looking for a new political home, and I think it’s one of the reasons that we have seen so many people, in addition to the die-hard Democrats who are coming to our events, we’re seeing independents and a remarkable number of people who tell me that they are those future former Republicans that I like to talk about in our campaign. And it’s not that I am pretending to be more conservative than I am, but that if we don’t agree on everything, we can at least agree on turning the page and moving past what this president has done to the country, Buttigieg responded.

Watch The Clip Below. 

That’s a pretty divisive statement for a presidential candidate. Trump has given us this great economy where minorities are thriving, is appreciating that racist? Or perhaps Buttigieg feels that border safety and enforcing American laws are also racist. His stance here is pretty polarizing. But luckily for all of us, Trump should have this election in the bag.
