Pete Buttigieg calmly destroys MAGA talking points for 12 minutes on Fox

I watched it in real time.

Buttigieg was impressive.

Gone was that off-putting (at least for me) smarmy thing he often does.

It was the best I've ever seen him.

Pete 2044

I feel it in my bones. He will be ready. Maybe even 2040.

ALSO kudos to him for going on FOX. That's how you do it.

R2 I can see him running as Newsom's VP in 24

^ Say what now? Oh, honey, you must get out more

I could listen to Pete all day. The way he handles those vipers at Fox is pure Chef's kiss

Pete keeps his eyes on the ball.

Surprising, considering.

why does Fox even have him on? is it a ratings game? he always destroys the commentators

MAGA hypocrite... But boy, I’m looking forward to her answer on why she and her husband chose to remain childless after nearly 30 years of marriage.

Actually the woman who interviewed him was very good. She let him speak. Didn't interrupt. Didn't try to put words in his mouth. Joy Reid could learn a thing or two.

Hi, I'm Shannon Bream, just so you know this is my concerned face... This is also my happy face and my angry face

Just thought I'd clear that up

r10 she tried to interrupt him a lot of times but he didn't let her get away with it for more than half a second.

^ Pete's focus is amazing. She almost agreed with him

Buttigieg was excellent here but we all know why he will not be chosen.

Pete is great, but she failed to really counter his statements.

Regarding the bipartisan bill that didn't pass, why did it still allow up to 5000 illegal crossings a day? Also, if Biden could tighten the border with an executive order, why did he wait until this year?

As for Kamala, she was given a big responsibility with the border. The Dems are trying to minimize what her role was because she was terrible.

What has Kamala actually accomplished as a VP?

More than you have as a troll, R15. Now, kindly fuck off back to Truth Social.

Pete for VP.

Which sock puppet of yours is this one, r15?

Are those your assigned talking points for today, R15? You’re a ridiculously transparent troll.

Pete did a great job, good on him.

And yes, I’m sure he’s auditioning for the second spot. And it was a fantastic performance.

R19, you're the one who's ridiculously transparent. You have nothing to list for Harris. You people really can't have a real debate. You resort to calling others trolls.

I'm an independent who used to identify as Dem until i realized the party was becoming full of people who act like you. I can't use the word think for your behavior.

No one believes this, sweetie. Nice try though.

Your name is Jan, right?

Stop trying to make Fetch happen

This proof still exists

My wacko maga relatives are dumbstruck every time they see Pete as he shreds their illusions and delusions about 'the gays'. I'm an eldergay and I hope I live long enough to see America elect him as POTUS.

r25, who the F cares? We both know trump and maga world shut down all proposed bi-partisan lege that would have made major fixes in the border. Just another example of why deranged trump is only it for himself and does not give a shit about the USA

Buttiegeg is so fucking good on these shows calmly decimating the Repugs. Gov. Tim Walz is also fantastic although his style is very different.

[QUOTE]Regarding the bipartisan bill that didn't pass, why did it still allow up to 5000 illegal crossings a day?

Well, because it didn't. Try to think it through, r15, (if you can because we suspect math and logic aren't your strong suits.) 5000 X 365 = 1,825,000 "allowable" crossings per year. What kind of drugs would the GOP need to take to agree to this in a bipartisan bill? Or the Democrats for that matter? Democrats like winning elections, too, you know. Seriously, are you suffering from a traumatic brain injury to be this credulous or are you just not very bright?

Ya know, just because your orange cult leader said it doesn't make it true. In fact, based on his track record, it's safer to think anything that comes out of his mouth is a lie. Just play the base rates.

She’s impossibly disingenuous.

I imagine the conversation goes something like this...

Fox News: "Why can't someone from this administration sit down with us and defend your policies? Are you afraid to face tough questions about your record?"

White House: "OK, we'll send Secretary Buttigieg. What time?"

Fox News: "...Shit!"

Apparently he was not speaking as the Secretary. They said that. He was billed as the ex mayor of South Bend (which just makes their on-air talent look worse, honestly).

And you're just a little MAGA piece of shit, R30.

Governor material for sure.

Thank you r29, that 5000 people a day being allowed to cross is a lie that just won't die, but r15 was sure no one here actually checked the facts... Oh, and JD Vance will go down in history as the VP candidate that fucked his couch even though he didn't 😂

R15 nope

The trolls are really scrambling today online. It’s pretty funny.

I'll have to give them some credit, R37. They are working with piss poor, improvised material, while the mothership is in disarray.

R21 — Your response typifies what I hate about you “independents” who are actually deeply conservative. Your conversion stories always go the same way — I used to be a liberal, but other liberals were so mean to me that I just HAD to become a conservative!

Wah! Wah! Wah! One doesn’t clarify and choose ones political convictions, ethics and essential sense of what is fair based on one “liberal” too many slighting or criticizing you. This has been the story of chronic malcontents like Matt Drudge, Andrew Breitbart, Steve Bannon et al — you don’t fit in with the cool kids so you’re going to burn the whole house down and be the opposite.

No one is perfect and no good career politician is perfect. Think about what Kamala Harris and Pete really believe in and stand for, and have accomplished, not how much you hate Datalounge liberals. Pete explained how Harris used diplomacy to try to tackle the source of the problem.

r21 is a troll, r39...'nuff said.

This was posted just a few days ago.

I take one look at how smooth and error free delta, southwest, United , etc have been how smooth the airline industry is running and has been the last few days, weeks, months, years, and it’s plain to see that Pete could be destined for greater jobs ——one that people who don’t fly won’t care about.

I stopped watching when Petey said "Prez Trump" just like all of the Foxheads do. They also say "Joe Biden" stripping him of his current title.

It's "former Prez Trump" or just "Trump" Pete. Get your shit together fool.

Well let him know, R43.

So you vote based on your personal feelings about other voters, not based on actual policies?
