what a douche!
Pete Buttigieg wants you to know he hates religious conservatives
an excerpt from the piece:
'Joe Biden is running against President Trump. Kamala Harris is running against Joe Biden. Pete Buttigieg is running against Christian conservatives.
How does he energize the party base when he’ll never be able to outbid Sens. Bernie Sanders, of Vermont, or Elizabeth Warren, of Massachusetts, on economic populism or pandering to labor unions? Through a strategic culture-war offensive.
I say “strategic” because Buttigieg isn’t trying to out-woke or out-identity-politics his rivals. He’s not racing to the most extreme outposts of the sexual revolution — for instance, asserting that only a bigot would refuse to date a transgendered person. Instead, he’s trying to rack up points for scoring the most hits against conservative Christians.
Buttigieg lamented the state of the world today, in which “so-called religious freedom is used to harm people,” as Buttigieg put it. Then he added his punchline, decrying that current law makes “it lawful to harm people so long as you remember to use your religion as an excuse.”
Laughter and applause rained down from the balconies.
Christian conservatives are lying bigots, Buttigieg seems to believe, and they deserve the full punishment of the law."
