South Bend Mayor and Democrat Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg is nothing more than the political ideologies of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders with a hip millennial haircut, according to WIBC host Tony Katz.
“The playbook is the same old, same old,” Katz told listeners Wednesday morning.
Same Old, Same Old Example One: Buttigieg Implies America Was Never That Great.
Buttigieg attacked President Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan at a rally on Monday, saying the “past he is promising to return us to was never as great as advertised.”
“Our current President targeted with a message saying that we could find greatness by just stopping the clock and turning it back and making America great again,” Buttigieg said at a campaign rally in South Carolina. “That past that he is promising the return us to was never as great as advertised, especially for marginalized Americans.”
Editor’s Note: If Buttigieg Means 1950s America, He’s Right:
- Income and influence inequality was at an all-time high.
- The majority of Americans were paying a higher tax rate – even on the low end.
- The top tax rate of 90{b738c8d81c72d45da79d596f76991eeb044315dc3b27bc6668899a5a04085174} was paid by almost NO wealthy earners – especially Hollywood stars.
- There were a total of four economic recessions in the 1950s.
- Racism and segregation were in full effect.
Contrast the above with the employment, opportunity for minorities, and a booming economy under President Donald Trump, the America of yesteryear doesn’t look all that great after all.
We Now Return to Tony Katz, Already in Progress.
Katz:
“The key to Donald Trump’s success – particularly in those midwestern cities – was that he looked at the people and said ‘I see you.’
The democrats called you racists and bigots and pay your fair share, and Donald Trump said, ‘I see you; I’m aware you exist.’”
Same Old, Same Old Example Two: Buttigieg Says Religion Shouldn’t be a Cudgel,’ Then Suggests God Wouldn’t be a Republican.
South Bend mayor and 2020 Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg said Tuesday he believed that religion shouldn’t be used as a political “cudgel,” but then immediately suggested that God wouldn’t be a Republican.
Buttigieg has often discussed his faith on the campaign trail, which NBC’s Craig Melvin mentioned during an interview that aired on “The Today Show” Tuesday.
“You also spend a fair amount of time talking about your faith… why?” Melvin asked.
“It’s important to me,” Buttigieg responded. “I think it’s also important that we stop seeing religion used as a kind of cudgel, as if God belonged to a political party. If he did, I can’t imagine it would be the one that sent the current president into the White House.”
WIBC host Tony Katz’s response to Buttigieg, the millennial theologian?
“He’s not a moderate; stop saying that he is. Listen to his words! We shouldn’t use religion as a cudgel. By the way, the Republicans are a Godless lot. This is not the best Indiana has to offer.”
Yes, South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is no moderate; he’s a progressive with socialist leanings in millennial clothing.
