Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg compared Donald Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance, with Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, during his speech Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.
After criticizing Trump, Buttigieg pivoted his attention to the former president’s running mate.
“And don’t even get me started on [Trump’s] new running mate. At least Mike Pence was polite. JD Vance is one of those guys who thinks if you don’t live the life that he has in mind for you, then you don’t count,” Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2020, said as he made comparisons between the two. “Someone who said that if you don’t have kids, you have ’no physical commitment to the future of this country.”
This guy needs to go win a federal election if he wants to have an opinion at this level. His only claim to fame was winning a local election in a college down and ratfucking Bernie.
He’s not going to go away, but if you haven’t won at least governed, or house or senator, you don’t get to play at this level. Conservative Democrats seem to live this guy because his identity gives him a pass afar his conservatism.
