The former mayor went after Bernie Sanders with his sharpest attacks yet following the Nevada caucuses, slamming Sanders as a drag on down-ticket Democrats and casting his campaign as a “revolution with a tenor of combat, division and polarization.” The Vermont senator easily won Nevada, while Buttigieg is battling Joe Biden and others for a second-place slot behind him.
The Nevada caucuses — and Buttigieg’s post-election warning — mark a critical moment for opponents of Sanders, who risk getting washed away in a wave of momentum following Sanders’ latest win. The move started earlier on Saturday, when Buttigieg went up with his first attack ad on TV in South Carolina, slamming Sanders on health care“Bernie Sanders’ Medicare for All would completely eliminate private insurance, forcing 150 million Americans off their current plans,” the ad’s narrator says. “Pete Buttigieg has a better way to lower costs and cover everyone, Medicare for All Who Want It.
But as Buttigieg tries to gather more support to his campaign, Biden and Amy Klobuchar are also pitching themselves as moderate options against Sanders, while Elizabeth Warren has styled herself as a unity candidate who could bridge the wings of the Democratic Party — albeit one who has ratcheted up her criticisms of Sanders and other Democratic contenders in recent days. Meanwhile, Mike Bloomberg has spent more than $400 million on TV ads to push himself into the race.
Hmm... he seems to have forgotten that he's running against realDonaldTrump.
Buttigieg is tossing a tantrum. How does that play out when he is on the world stage and someone he doesn't like disagrees with him.
Funny how the MSM thinks it's ok to attack Bernie the FRONTRUNNER now but when Bernie was 2nd/3rd it was frowned upon. hypocrites Bernie2020
When you talk about The(Bootie)Buttigieg PeteButtigieg never use the word Slam in the same sentence He gets all excited it's not kool
Poor sweatie Pete
Pete will be the first women President. His husband will be proud.
Pete is unqualified.
If Sanders is denied the nomination by the super delegates, he should threaten to run as a third party candidate.....that would kill any hope of a democrat win!
they should all have been attacking much sooner. Now we're stuck with the old fool.
Too bad there's no more gop or Pete could find his home
He’s right.
Somebody is a sore looser.
He attacks Bernie, but by staying in the race he ensures Bernie’s victory. Thanks Pete!
lol sore loser
Pete got only 2% of the black vote how in the hell does he think that he will win? He tied with Bernie a white state IA, NH eh..ok Nevada he’s not even close 😆 Don’t be jelly you’re young, take the time, put on the work, tour the country, gain trust, build your own movement
Pete pks ho back to South bend
Fear and loathing in LasVegas, PeteButtigieg
Keep going Pete... someone's gotta take him down. Can't stand around and be too afraid to act like Rs did with Trump. Speak now or our party will burn to the ground.
Pete might want to be the anti Bernie candidate. but the other five candidates may not be ready to unite behind him. And Pete's Medicare for all who want it is not a viable option for healthcare and voters sense that. It is just a clever sounding name.
Biden Mini Me wannabe?
Time to pack it up Petey, no1 wants you mr corporate puppet
I think we really need to see some examples of an effective anti-Bernie campaign ad or two similar to what the GOP and Trump will deliver. Everyone playing nice here — and the Republicans will squash Bernie like a roach in a billion $ worth of brutal ads.
I can't wait until we don't have to hear more word salad from Sneaky Pete PeteButtigieg. He only knows how to play the negative game and criticize other candidates. He parrots prewritten 'policy' from a Word doc, not from the heart. Nowhere near qualified for the job!
StevenHarp_ Pete? Sore losers are so unattractive when their makeup runs....
Thought the democrats said they wouldn’t attack each other
If that's the strongest the 🐀 has... MayoPete is in trouble! BernieWon
Pete’s a Sore Loser.
🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
Buttigieg and Klobuchar need to bow out NOW while Dems still have a chance to unite behind an electable candidate.
StevenHarp_
He hasn't offered the population anything other than platitudes. I like the guy but he's not the future.
Brah, quit trying to attack Bernie's M4A over losing their private insurance. Culinary Union members have rejected you today and voted for Bernie 4/6 precincts. You won one of them because of a tie. And the other went to Biden. Just stop.
Bernie2020 NotMeUs
“Senator Sanders believes in an inflexible ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans,” Buttigieg said.
Pete Buttigieg is in no position to criticize anyone’s ability to build coalitions when his coalition is a lily white ass coalition.
Guy who hasn’t won a primary talking shit...
This is going to be a years we will never forget.
PeteButtigieg is incredibly shook! Then he goes on a fear mongering, hateful rant! He had fear, and panic in his heart tonight!
He lost me at this 'Hello'. Who needs a bull horn for a crowd of 12 people at a parking lot?🤦♀️🤷♂️🤦♀️and what gets me is that even if he doesn't get close to convention stage, his Godfather- Marc Zuckerberg will have won.😞
Proving himself as the perfect shit bag -
Pete is 100% correct. The centrist Democrats are collectively seeking an alternative to Bernie. Pete-Joe-Amy voters outpace Bernie’s. Joe & Amy should bow out, coalesce behind Pete and unite us centrist pragmatic Dems to defeat what would be a disastrous Nov under Bernie.
“Senator Sanders believes in an inflexible ideological revolution that leaves out most Democrats, not to mention most Americans,” Buttigieg said.' Yeah most Americans hate Bernie's ideas and policy..... What a genius he is.
Wow, buttigieg is gaslighting again. Making victory speeches when he doesn't win. Calling for unity while trying to divide the party. Him and Warren have flopped around so much on their positions in the past 2 months I don't know how you could vote for them in good conscience.
What’s that, Pete? I can’t hear you over the sound of 98% of black voters not voting for you.
He will be an asterisk in history books. Buttigieg
Petey Pete...
nice
SMH. He got lucky in Iowa because the toothless crew didn't know who he was. Now, he has a false confidence going on. PeteButtigieg PeteButtigieg
PeteButtigieg sanders has been progressively fighting for same movement longer than you’ve been alive. Don’t hate a Buttigieg.
It’s weird how the “unity candidate” refuses to unite, huh?
Petey said his attack lines like a good boy
I wish he had spoken so directly and passionately before the Nevada caucus.
Lol those poor people with so much to loose lmao gimme a break
Loser Pete? The guy that didn’t come close to Sanders’ margins? HAHAHAHAHA
G.O.A.T.
Losing gracefully and with dignity requires humility. No amount of education can teach a person that...
Who cares
Buttigieg doesn't have a chance of winning the nomination now.
American voters seeing this
Lol desperate fool
Pete has my vote but no reason to beat a dead horse, regardless of who get the blue nomination, my guy or otherwise, blue will get my vote cause FUCK tRUMP!!!!!
His handlers must be so choked. All that money. Wasted
Why is he being so divisive against the largest democratic coalition's this primary season?
Pete looked small on the debate stage. He’s not ready. He needs to drop out.
Pete was never going to contend in any serious way polling at 0-2 percent with black voters.
Bernie may own 3 houses on earth but he owns a timeshare with the devil
Who?
Those were weak attacks
PeteButtigieg landed as many punches on BernieSanders tonight as Deontay Wilder did against Tyson_Fury
Surely this will stop Bernie Sanders.
Sore loser, lol
this sore loser stuff is a bad look. just make the case for why you're better.
But not the 'Democratic Establishment' and the ones that voted for them....hmmmmm.
Politicians become stupid during campaigns. He is old enough to know people’s passion is not extinguished like that and he’s harming himself.
Don’t divide though lol
Lol ok politico. Keep trying to make deep state CIA Petey B a thing
He can’t fathom that real voters are rejecting him. Let it go, Pete. It’s Not your time!
Didnt he just plagiarize Obama’s speech?
We are used to being attacked by the middle. It's ok, it's worth the fight.
Bernie Sanders wins 2020
how you gonna hate from outside the nomination, you can't even get in
Because we wouldn’t want a toxic campaign. :/
He's a sociopath who says nothing of substance.
