Today at breakfast, I talked with my parents about some of our favorite Democrat campaign moments in history. You know, things like Hillary Clinton telling black interviewers that she carries hot sauce in her purse or Kamala Harris’s black music panderfest in which she failed to name a single Bob Marley song or Elizabeth Warren drinking the first beer of her life on camera or that time that a bunch of primary candidates started speaking in Spanish for some reason. There’s a lot to choose from, is my point.
This ended up being a prelude to what might perhaps be the worst attempt at shameless pandering yet, and, it pains me not in the slightest to say, we might be seeing the end of Pete Buttigieg.
Yesterday Pete Buttigieg put out a list of 400 Black South Carolinians that endorse him/his plan.
-A lot of the people are confused because they didn’t endorse.
-42 percent of the list is white.
-They used stock photos from Kenya.
Yet we have heard nothing from his campaign.

AAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I mean we all knew that he’s not necessarily a frontrunner outside of Iowa, but WOW I had no idea his campaign was so impoverished they couldn’t afford to do any semblance of real work. I think Kenya is organizing a charitable donation for Mayor Pete– if this is the best his campaign can come up with, he really needs it.
Wondering how something this hilariously ridiculous can happen?
Pete Buttigieg’s campaign sent out an email telling people they needed to opt-out of being on the endorsement list.

That’s how.
In other words, by doing things literally no one has ever considered a good, honest, or even logical way of doing things.
One of the worst parts is that one of the names Pete Buttigieg’s campaign used is Johnnie Cordero.
Johnnie Cordero is the Chair of the South Carolina Black Caucus.
They really thought he wouldn’t notice.

Absolutely incredible. Keep it up, Pete. Maybe I’m calling things a bit too soon, but. . .
