BRZEZINSKI ON MAYOR PETE BUTTIGIEG 'He exposed hate with love'

"We live in a moment that compels us each to act,” he said. “The forces changing our country are tectonic — forces that help to explain what made this current presidency even possible. That's why this time it's not just about winning an election — it's about winning an era."
PETE  BUTTIGIEG



At just 37, he is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana. He is a military veteran and a deeply religious gay man who is married but also enjoys sandwiches from (anti-same-sex marriage) Chick-fil-A. He is a Harvard-educated Rhodes scholar who speaks eight languages. He is the first ever millennial candidate for president and, so far, the only Democratic hopeful to appear on the "Fox News Sunday" show.
The fact that he was born and bred in the American Rust Belt is possibly his biggest asset.

"Scripture tells us to look after the least among us, that it also counsels humility and teaches us about what's bigger than ourselves," said Buttigieg, a devout Episcopalian. "It points the way toward an inclusive and unselfish politics that I strive to practice, whether I'm talking about my faith on the stump or not."

Wednesday, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” gushed over 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg and his handling of protesters at an Iowa rally the night before.
Both host Mika Brzezinski and former President George W. Bush aide Elise Jordan said Buttigieg has the “it” factor.
Brzezinski then said the openly gay mayor of South Bend, IN, “exposed hate with love” with his response to the protesters, adding much like former President Barack Obama, Republicans “will not be able to handle” Buttigieg.
“What he did right there in front of 1,000 people, he exposed hate with love. He did it beautifully, pastorally. He did it in a way that made you want to be there with him. I’m going to tell you, as much as the Republicans completely misunderstood Barack Obama, and had no idea how to handle an African-American Democratic nominee, they will not be able to handle this guy. because he is truly working from a good center and has the words and education and the articulation and the grounding to express it to people who even don’t understand him. it’s called depth. it’s called moral compass. it’s called faith. it’s called love for America. he is going to be very hard to handle, if they try to take him on for something he is absolutely not embarrassed about.

THE HO CHASING SWAMP KEEPER TRUMP v MAYOR PETE BUTTILGIEG

Brooks said, “Just think about the interview we just saw with Rachel Maddow and Pete Buttigieg. There’s a guy with fundamental decency. I met him like months ago before I knew he was running for president, I was seated next to him at a dinner, and there was just a basic humility and deference. And you look at Donald Trump, and you look at a man who is about ego, who is about—worships career success, financial success. A man who I think somewhere was not loved and shelled himself off and is incapable of receiving or giving love.” DAVID BROOKS
