Pete Buttigieg once again uses a Fox News interview to calmly dismantle the Trump campaign's logic
Pete Buttigieg is certainly making the most of his time on Fox News this week.
On Wednesday he was interviewed by Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier, and managed to completely turn around their question on policy differences between Senator Harris and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden using a simple comparison to the Trump campaign.
Then, on Thursday, he popped up on the network once again — this time chatting to Steve Doocy of Fox & Friends about Trump's refusal to appear in a virtual debate.
"Well it's too bad, I don't know why the president's afraid to participate in a debate. All of us have had to get used to virtual formats," says Buttigieg, before attacking the president's decision directly in relation to safety.
"It's not something I think most of us enjoy, but it's a safety measure. And I think part of why the U.S. is falling behind, is badly behind the rest of the developed world on dealing with the pandemic is because every time there's been a choice between doing something that's more safe, or less safe, this president seems to push forward less safe.

"Of course, the only reason that we're here in the first place is that the president of the United States is still contagious, as far as we know, with a deadly disease," Buttigieg concluded. "I don't know why you'd want to be in a room with other people if you were contagious with a deadly disease."
You can watch the full interview, which also includes some fairly scathing comments from Buttigieg about Trump's denial that he called fallen troops "suckers" and "losers," below

That was an awesome clip!
ReplyDeleteGo, Pete! True hero and patriot! Bring the reality to the fake media channel that misinforms and lies for the Agent Orange
ReplyDeleteProving again why he should have been the nominee ;(
ReplyDeletegive us a few years!
DeleteAt this stage, Biden doesn't have to do another thing and can even stay in his basement if he wanted to and just let Trump do his thing. The more Trump is unhinged, the better for Biden.
ReplyDeleteworked well for hillary too
DeletePete you did a great job telling it like it is on FOX NEWS ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteI guess it's not a real court if the defendant speaks to the judge remotely through a video screen. Or when a Dr. consults with you then orders treatment through a zoom application.
ReplyDeleteTrump is afraid to use virtual reality because he doesn’t know how to use it he went to trump university ;D ;D ;D ;D
ReplyDeleteand also dodged the draft. We have a coward in the white house who prefers to hide in a bunker behind three barrier fences and incite others to fight and risk life or imprisonment for him.
DeletePeter dropped Truth bomb after truth bomb! The Fox News host was speechless! ;D
ReplyDeleteBECAUSE Trump is an EMPTY BARREL
ReplyDeleteAccording to the new Journalism Ethics, isn’t CNN their battle field?
ReplyDeleteBiden can't think for himself, its called DEMENTIA, debate has to be together in person
ReplyDeleteThis is the great fear of the sociopathic orange.

yeah. Right up there with that "hope and change". :|
DeleteHow about law and order from a president who has countless pending indictments, his cronies in jail, and women accusing him of rape?
Deleteyep, anyone who would insist on going out in public when you have the virus that has killed over 210,000 Americans can’t be too stable and only thinks of himself. We need a president who cares for people. The reason why this country has so much unrest right now is solely because of Trump and his division. We need a president that unites and can lead us through this pandemic. Spreading the virus is not an answer.
DeleteModerator has a mute button
ReplyDeleteMashable been biased again!
ReplyDelete;| . Not used to hearing the truth?
DeleteNo its smart what part of contagious do you not understand
ReplyDeleteHes afraid of the mute button
ReplyDeleteOld man wants to talk to a real person, not virtually? And he scared being mute! ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah with wires and teleprompters
ReplyDeleteMayor Pete has a very bright future ahead of him. Love this guy.
ReplyDeleteOh , I think I’d ray watch Peter smooch his boyfriend on tv
ReplyDeleteDo much truth in Buttigieg’s words....trump doesn’t care about other people
ReplyDeleteHow to handle bullies
ReplyDeletePete is so awesome
ReplyDeleteSo good. Love Buttigieg. He always says it like it is.
ReplyDeleteHello 911: Yes, I would like to report a murder.
ReplyDeleteHe'll submit an executive order that he can't be cut off by the moderator.....he will show, otherwise he's a coward!!
ReplyDeleteNo longer watching fox so don’t really care
ReplyDeleteCan't we stick him on an island typhoid Mary style so he quits infection everyone?
ReplyDeleteHe won’t do virtual because they’ll mute his fat mouth if he tries to interrupt as is his prescription
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can use that “lower your stress” dating app you reviewed the other week!
ReplyDeleteBecause Biden cheaters would set up teleprompters on what to say to answer questions. He needs to do this debate on his own....hes Harris and Nasty Nancy's puppet
ReplyDeletesounds like your a puppet
Delete“For the Debate Commission to now rush to Joe Biden’s defense by unilaterally canceling an in-person debate is pathetic," Trump said in a statement, adding, "We'll pass on this sad excuse to bail out Joe Biden and do a rally instead.”
ReplyDeleteAfter the White House released a memo from the president's physician Thursday saying the president can resume normal activities as early as Saturday, Stepien said in another statement that the commission should "reverse course" and have the debate in person.
"There is therefore no medical reason why the Commission on Presidential Debates should shift the debate to a virtual setting, postpone it, or otherwise alter it in any way," he said. "The commission must stop protecting Joe Biden from this in-person debate and allow the event to proceed as it was agreed to months ago."
This is another sign of the Democrats changing the rules to help them , do you really believe this is not to benefit Biden
ReplyDeleteWow you guys believe anything, haha
ReplyDeleteTrump is not mentally capable to debate
ReplyDeleteTrump is just mad that he won’t be able to talk over Biden because he can get muted ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
ReplyDelete❤ Mayor Pete!

DeleteI hope he gets a cabinet position in Pres. Biden’s administration!
