Pete Buttigieg is like the James Bond of Fox News interviews. He strolls into a room full of SPECTRE agents posing a Fox News employees and calmly wipes them all out without so much as breaking a sweat.
“Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg faced down a Fox News host who complained about peaceful protests against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh over abortion rights.
During an interview on Fox News, host Mike Emmanuel asked Buttigieg if it was “appropriate” for demonstrators to protest outside a restaurant where Kavanaugh was dining.
Buttigieg acknowledged that public officials “should always be free from violence.”
“You’re never going to be free from criticism or peaceful protests, people exercising their First Amendment rights,” the Transporation secretary pointed out.“
It was a thing of beauty:

“That’s happened in this case,” he explained. “Remember, the justice never even came into contact with these protesters, reportedly didn’t see or hear them. And these protesters are upset because a right, an important right that the majority of Americans support was taken away.
“Not only the right to choose by the way,” Buttigieg continued, “but this justice was part of the process of stripping away the right to privacy. Since I’ve been alive, settled case law in the United States has been that the Constitution protected the right to privacy and that has now been thrown out the window by justices, including Justice Kavanaugh, who as I recall, swore up and down in front of God and everyone including the United States Congress that they were going to leave settled case law alone. So yes, people are upset. They’re going to exercise their First Amendment rights.”
Too bad Pete already has a job, Biden could really use him as White House Comms Director or Press Secretary.
Nobody lays it down like Pete does…
Pete Buttigieg is amazing. That's the tweet.

100%.
Who ever that news person was……..Pete went to Oxford. Pete is extremely intelligent. Anyone trying a gotcha are going to get more of what Pete just dished out. Truth.
Succinct and to the point. Secretary Buttigieg is quite a man. A breath of fresh considering the former guy sullied history with such people as Rudy “the farter”, bannon, his children…
I think beer bong ought to be thankful the protesters weren’t exercising their 2nd amendment rights, which as we now know, means there are pretty much no limits to what and where you carry. He ought to be grateful mainly because had they been carrying, as he INSISTS is their right, he’d have sh*t his pants.
Get used to beer bong. You and your fellow theocrats are going to see a LOT MORE of this sort of thing. Might want to wear diapers too.
A long time ago, when I had a job and income that was decent by Fairfax County Virginia standards (enough that as a single guy after my divorce I was able to buy a home) I sometimes joined a group of friends (more affluent than I was which is why only sometimes) at a monthly gathering at that very Morton’s. Nice place. And unless my memory is very fucked up it would take a HUGE crowd raising a helluva ruckus outside for diners inside to hear them. What I’m saying is that ole Pete nailed it and Morton’s statement (for which they’ve justifiably taken a lot of shit) about Kavanaugh and other patron’s meals being ruined is nothing but a lie.
Now, I’m pretty sure Brewski Brett the Boofer was discreetly informed of the gathering out front and decided to beat feet via the back door (pun intended) to avoid the protesters. Who were lawfully protesting OUTSIDE. I’d bet that Kavanaugh didn’t want to have to look his DAUGHTERS in the eye after passing through protesters. I suspect it still made the rest of the evening uncomfortable for him and his family. As things have probably been for a while. Who knows what shit his family has had to put up with over his lust for power and the despicable manner in which he’s been using it? Not that HE gives much of a fuck.
Who else thinks Pete is president material? That one day there will be a POTUS Pete?
