As momentum builds in his campaign, Democrat presidential contender Pete Buttigieg has decided to put distance between himself and former President Barack Obama.
The 37-year-old Navy veteran and openly gay candidate continued to push his message of fiscal moderation and did not call on voters to wistfully recall the time before President Donald Trump. "My message is not about going back to where we were," he said."The failures of the Obama era help explain how we got Trump," he told reporters aboard his campaign bus, according to the"I am running on building a future that is going to have a lot of differences... One thing I learned in 2016 is to be very skeptical of any message that relies on the word 'again.
Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks during a town hall event on November 10, 2019 in Walpole, New Hampshire. He has said that the presidency of Donald Trump was due to the failures of the Obama era.
The reasons why this is a big mistake: 1) the Dems who blame Trump on Obama are not likely to vote for Buttigieg 2) Buttigieg is running as Obama 2.0 3) His biggest problem is winning over black voters & this damages his chances.
Stop it! Not a good look
That’s gonna piss a lot of people off- PeteForGovernor
Delete this tweet! It was a misquote that has since been corrected by the original source.
No !! The FAILURES of the BUSH 43 presidency .... GET it right !!
Delete the tweet, post a correction tweet, and for the sake of journalism, correct the headline & story. Good Lord. Y’all have to do better for our democracy, !
It's a misquote. When will you correct ?
Not a direct quote.... when asked about Biden and Bloomberg.. he said not back to the old normal!... Biden was Obamas Vice President!... it was Obamas leadership!.... pete was insulting Obama indirectly
Please retract this. He didn’t say this. He said “ failures of the old normal”.
Oops! South Bend Mayor Pete has gone too far!
This is incorrect.
What is the old normal ?
Yeah? You're next to back out!
Are you guys seriously? You printed this after the reporter already corrected the story? Unbelievable
Except the damage is already done. Obama haters no doubt are retweeting this as we speak
From the author of the article...
12, 13, 14, 15...aaaand your done!
To quote the great philosopher Donald J Trump “Fake News”
Because Lackey Mitch wouldn’t vote not because of Obama
Wow, attack the liberal darling
You might want to blame people for electing a dumb reality show personality for the current potus and his actions. BarackObama has done more for America then you have done while being Mayor, PeteButtigieg
Not true. It’s a group of ult right white people whom feel they were left behind.
This is inaccurate reporting. Please correct.
Why are you still posting this? It’s been retracted.
Headlines like this one is why people say fake news. Please correct this.
Take this post down now! The article has been retracted by its author as a complete misquoteof Mayor Pete!!!
Take this down
showing their lack of integrity. The latimes reporter of this MISQUOTE retracted his attribution of it 45 minutes before you even published this bullshit story. You have no integrity
FAKE NEWS. this is a misquote
THIS IS NOT TRUE. WAS CORRECTED. DELETE.
Pete Buttigieg is correct! Deep fault lines are present in the US 🇺🇸 government,present during the Obama-Biden administration&predecessors, that made of the government a dysfunctional government, regardless of who is the President.
Obama was so bad at his job, the people hired a business man and it actually worked out really well for the economy. So maybe we should be thanking Obama? 🤔
Misquote. Look it up. That’s not what he said.
Thats one of a series of factors, but definitely an easy target for the purpose of this discussion
Seeing as the author has corrected the misquote in the replies, why haven’t you taken this tweet down
Take this down. Misquote
That is not what Pete said. The reporter admitted he transcribed it from tape wrongly. Mayor Pete said ‘failure of the old normal’
Hey Newsweek...you've had ample time to correct this. Are we to assume that at this point you're willfully smearing PeteButtigieg or are you just being lazy? This quote has been corrected by the reported, please follow up.
This is a misquote, please correct
Now do the correction.
This strong economy is due to ‘correct treatment of the Obama era’
Wrong quote. This should be corrected!
Shot yourself in the foot.
Incorrect quote. I thought Facebook and Fox News were the places to go for misinformation, not Newsweek.
This quote has now been corrected by the original reporter. You really need to issue a major correction to this story.
Plus an incredibly arrogant & elitist candidate selected by the Dems.
Please retract and reference the author's correction
Take this down
Fix your headline. It's a misquote. He said 'the old normal'.
Might want to clean this one up Newsweek
Please run a correction the reporter got it wrong
Fix your post
Lis_Smith, PeteButtigieg is still being misquoted by .
Correct this story!
Failure is due to congress collecting a paycheck and not doing there job but just making click bate comments
IT’S TIME FOR MAYOR PETE TO GO HOME!!!!!!
petelovesobama The LA times reporter has apologized for misquoting PeteButtigieg .
He didn't. Don't give this traction.
Y’all gonna take this down after the reported apologized for the error or nah?
Oh please!!
Way to honor a veteran on Veterans Day
Nope. He didn’t say that. Put on your journalist hat and find the correction.
This has since been corrected by the author- you need to remove this ADAP
He didn’t say that, though
I was about to lose my shit
Not what was said.
And there were a lot of failures coming from the Obama administration.
Lesson of the day: being gay and a liberal doesn’t prevent you from also being a bigot.
Simmer down, Pete.
maybe time to delete this tweet
Pete I need you to go back to your elected state and DO YOUR DAM HOMEWORK! OBAMA COULDNT GET SHIT APPROVED AND EVERYONE KNOWS THE RULES OF LAW ALSO THIS MESS WASNT STARTED WITH OBAMA. OBAMA JUST DIDNT BAD MOUTH GEORGE BUSH ABOUT THIS MESS HE CREATED
I was deeply disappointed at Pete's dig/attack. Using POTUS 44's name, only serves a narrative that falsely suggests 'Dems in the White House = bad'.
Be better this was corrected at 3:29am
You’re misinforming people. Delete this misquote.
For the record: 3:29 AM, Nov. 11, 2019 An earlier version of this story incorrectly quoted Buttigieg as referring to to the “failures of the Obama era.” What he said were the “failures of the old normal.”
FAkE NEWS!
are you serious? you are posting this after they already admitted that it's not his quote
Noooo. He didn’t. Reporter corrected. Now you must.
Considering this 'Obama era' statement associated with Pete was inaccurate as a result of a transcribing error by the journalist, you should consider taking down this tweet at the very least, assuming you won't be putting out a correction to this amplification of disinformation.
You know that's a false quote, right? Keeping this tweet is akin to 'Fake News'. Do you want Trump to be right about you guys?
Incorrect; reporter has provided a correction
This is incorrect and false. You are intentionally reporting false information.
Trumps presidency is due to Hillary Clinton and the DNC for cheating Bernie Sanders. I was a Bernie supporter who voted Trump and will do so again.
I see a big correction needed ...
Exactly why people dont trust the media
WTF PeteButtigieg?
evanhalper
FALSE. MISQUOTE. REMOVE!
Correction
Terrible. Be better, PeteButtigieg !
Damage has been done. Similar to Hillary email news from Comey two weeks prior to the election
Correct this in a new tweet! Take this down!!!!!
Obama ignored and betrayed the black community. Still, they just can't see or belief it. They're in denial.
Journalist issued correction.
I hate having to agree with Mayor Pete.
Fix this.
More like a gamble of people desperate for positive change from a fake billionaire with the skills of a failed used car salesman that sold people worthless goods about how he's just like them...so how'd that work out?
The guy corrected the piece. Buttigieg didn't say that, not that it matters now.
For the record: 3:29 AM, Nov. 11, 2019 An earlier version of this story incorrectly quoted Buttigieg as referring to to the “failures of the Obama era.” What he said were the “failures of the old normal.”
Writer recanted:
Misreporting an erroneous report. See reporter's correction. Please check your work:
Oops!!!! Stick a fork into Mayor Pete..... ....He's quite done
OMG how stupid. This has already been corrected by the reporter.
Wrong
It’s a misquote
He said, ‘failures of the old normal’
No. Not a failure.
Quote incorrect. The journo has issued a statement correcting.
