We Just Got Our Hands On Video From 2011 And Buttigieg- It's A Big Blow To His 2020 Chances

Pete Buttigieg is facing new scrutiny from his fellow leftwing dems after a 2011 video resurfaced in which he appeared to slam minorities for their lack of education- which really is twisting his words to be fair, but that’s what the radical leftists do.

The clip shows him talking about challenges faced by minority students.

Apparently that is offensive.

The video shows Buttigieg, then a South Bend, Indiana, mayoral candidate, saying that “there are a lot of kids especially from lower-income minority neighborhoods who literally just haven’t seen it work, there isn’t somebody they know personally who testifies to the value of education,” the Daily Caller News Foundation reports.

DCNF’s Peter Hasson writes that a writer at The Root called Buttigieg “a lying motherf**ker” in response to the video.

“This is not a misunderstanding. This is not a misstatement. Pete Buttigieg went to the best educational institutions America has to offer and he — more than anyone on the goddamned planet — knows that everything he just said is a baldfaced lie,” Michael Harriot wrote in a Monday article, which was widely shared among left-wing journalists.

The writer said Buttigieg’s answer “proves men like him are more willing to perpetuate the fantastic narrative of negro neighborhoods needing more role models and briefcase-carriers than make the people in power stare into the sun and see the blinding light of racism.”

The adverb here is a twisting knife

“Kids need to see evidence that education is going to work for them,” Buttigieg explained whitely https://t.co/mZumKv75XJ

This piece is powerful: "Get-along moderates would rather make shit up out of whole cloth than wade into the waters of reality. Pete Buttigieg doesn’t want to change anything. He just wants to be something." Pete Buttigieg Is a Lying MF https://t.co/lEwFawua0H

Speaking about children in “lower-income, minority neighborhoods” in 2011, @PeteButtigieg said, “There isn’t someone who they know personally who testifies to the value of education.” @michaelharriot delivers a moving and fitting retort to that falsehood. https://t.co/saHQGemTEP

Wow- so much hate and anger.

“While I obviously think that the characterization of me personally is unfair, I do understand the concern,” Buttigieg, who has consistently struggled with black voters, told a reporter, when asked about the article’s characterization of him.

The article’s popularity led the hashtag “#PeteButtigiegIsALyingMF” to surge into Twitter’s national trending topics.

See's #PeteButtigiegIsaLyingMF trending. Shakes Head. Goes to kitchen to get more coffee. Looks for brandy bottle. Will need something strong with my #morningcoffee before I can click on and see what the man did now. SMH. WOW!

#PeteButtigiegIsALyingMF It would be amazing if Buttigieg read the Michael Harriot piece, then responded recognizing the mistakes he has made.
But amazing doesn't happen that often.

Ben Shapiro chimed in on Twitter:

“Buttigieg didn’t lie about education; he gave a perspective that’s actually backed by substantial data. But for Democrats, pointing out that educational outcome disparities are not entirely the result of systemic racism is political suicide.”
