‘Neither is he’: Buttigieg hits back at Biden’s dig that former mayor isn’t Obama

Pete Buttigieg had a response to former Vice President Joe Biden's recent comment the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is not Barack Obama: "Neither is he." "Well, he's right, I'm not. And neither is he. Neither is any of us running for president," Buttigieg told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

    1. @Gnick the Gnome Not intolerant at all…Myself and my best friend/colleague who happens to be a PhD veteran and gay were just speculating earlier on why Peter Buttwiggle would have joined the military lol, and why he’s getting propped up… I love gay guys, they actually buy me free drinks when i hit the bar (stingy fckin women never do). Now dump this conniving lil weasel and go vote for Liz Warren or Bernard Sanders…..Cos if you don’t and let this lil pervy weasel take the nomination, do you have any idea what Donnie Dump would do to him?? It is no joke. So, ignore this stupid lil boy and please let him go back to being Mayor of his stupid lil town. Sanders/Warren 2020!!

    2. @W A agreed. tone down your ad hominem. Nobody will listen to you if all you’re doing is calling Pete a “homosexual” or “perv” as if it’s some sort of scathing critique. It isn’t. Attack what matters, not what is inconsequential.

    3. @Gnick the Gnome No man. Warren has way more smarts and aptitude than Bernard (and she kinda looks like my aunt). Bernard is well intentioned but not very smart. Together, they’d make a good pair though like some of those couples you see out there……a loud dumb dude who means well, but the woman’s running all the books for him….

  1. Most people in this country need a real change but the billionaires have convinced them to be against their own interests

    1. 100% this. Trump supporters for example are nothing but lapdogs and voting puppets for the billionaire class and they don´t even realise it. It´s laughable…and sad.

    2. Sanders and Trump people using Seth Riches death for Personal Riches is not going to give the American people change but its the Sanders trump way

    1. To be fair, he is really trying not to attack anyone but the whole interview is designed to stir up conflict between the candidates. Silly

    1. You idiots have been saying since Biden announced his campaign that he is done, yet he is still going strong and still ahead Trump in almost all polls.

    2. Jordan he did poorly in Iowa, what in the hell are you talking about? Pete is a sneaky rat, he stands no chance against Trump. Bernie is our only hope!

    1. @Adaryll Kelly Then why did every POC mayor in Iowa endorse him, as well as dozens of local black leaders and even Miss Black America? Why is he the only candidate with a comprehensive plan to help POC in America?

    2. Biden is just upset he be. All right. He try to come for Pete and Pete responded. Like Pete said he’s not Obama. He never said he was Obama. Joe Biden think he is Obama. But he will never be Obama Biden think this is 2008. Like Pete said faith is 20/20. We just ready for something new. Something different

  2. When Obama does something good:
    Biden: Oh Yeah I helped with that!

    When Obama does something bad:
    Biden: Oh well that was Obama’s mess not mine.

    1. @t Bone Helped the Mexican cartel? Approved the CIA training and funding ISIS to be Syrian “rebel fighters”? Killed hundreds of thousands of innocent ppl with drones strikes? Start back up the slave trade? Must I go on???

    2. t Bone he said that u can keep ur doctor with Obamacare and he either lied or was misinformed about his own plan.

  3. Biden stole that from Reagan. …Biden does that frequently – 1st in college nonsense, yada yada yada.

    1. Ratings, although any exposure of a candidate is good for the candidate. Gives them a chance to get free airtime and explain their platform clearly. Clearly, dump took advantage of that. Now the dems need to do the same.

    1. The only people who will benefit from this are white people as they are usually the ones buying the drugs. Pete seems to still want to go crazy on those who sell the drugs. Many of those are as vulnerable as the ones who only have possession of them.

    2. @ATS_ It’s not prisons that deserve support, it’s people who abide by the law that deserve every advantage available. People who take a stand against civilised society don’t deserve any of the advantages of society. Don’t even think about turning this into a race thing, it’s purely a merit based situation.

    1. James Bicket Not so fast buddy, Bloomberg is gaining on them. Trump and Bloomberg are both NYer’s and they know how to play the game!!! PS, I’m a NYer, so I know.

    1. “Where I come from the person that gets the most votes is the person that oughta win.” -Mayor Pete, CNN Town Hall 2019…. Oops

    2. @H@ppyC@mper He still believes that. It doesn’t change the fact that he has to win by the current rules of the system in order to change it.

    3. MightyMido for the primary, absolutely. I do however still favor the electoral college in the presidential

  4. “He’s polling in the top two”, what! Who says that! Normal people would say he’s polling in second, which he is, with a seven point gap according to today’s CNN poll. Obviously saying he’s in second place sounds bad, so you gotta say he’s in the “top two”… for God’s sake.
