Buttigieg on Trump's Comments: 'This Is a Strategy to Get Us Talking'

As communities across the U.S. continue to feel the fallout from Donald Trump's debate comments, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg argued that the former president's remarks were convenient attempts to distract from his record, and to counter a strong and prepared Kamala Harris at the debate.

Buttigieg goes on to call the comments racist and indefensible.

Remember the MAGA strategy: In case of emergency, blame the minority.

Me and my Veteran friends were talking about what you are discussing . I'm glad you are talking about this sick man. You hit on the spot. Thank you 👍👍

Pete is spot on... and it works everytime

[maryannec.moravec]

Well said! Right on the money, Pete.

As a humanist, demonizing immigrants is unacceptable

He is so eloquent and always prepared. Love this guy!

[Shelora]

He makes it clear, simply enough that a 6th grader could understand how it works, but he’s not condescending. Kudos.

[almadanehy]

Thank you for pointing that out. I really didn’t realize what was going on. You are a genius by the way.❤

I'm sick and tired of Trump and his rhetoric. It's time for him to go.

Exactly. It's time to IGNORE Trump.

This man would make a great President.

[nancycorrea]

I really Love him. He is always so calm but straight forward. He's honest and to the point but still respectful. So proud of how he carries himself. Makes me hopeful for the future of our government ❤💙💙💙

[Divahead]

Facts!! He is 100% on target with this!!!😊

[thecatisoutofthebag]

Sir, you are so eloquent, intelligent and sane! I would vote for you in a heartbeat!

[bettydickson-purol]

I would vote for him as president. In the meantime, Secretary of State.

[danielarganaraz]

Absolutely correct! The most accurate assessment of Trump. Republicans need to see this and wake up!

[Longtack]

Pete is so nimble and articulate. America needs his leadership.

[cousinjake]
