Buttigieg's campaign invites colored staff (that's what he calls them) to complain about the racism of his white staff.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-this-incredibly-racist-memo-buttigieg-sent-to-his-staff-tells-you-everything-you-need-to-know-about-him

Quote
When a white man is talked over or called the wrong name, nobody considers it a racist affront. Nobody considers it anything. It’s just a part of life. Well, the same goes for non-white people, as well. I’m sure this will be its own microaggression, but my response to anyone of any race crying about mild rudeness and minor annoyances in the workplace is: Get over it, you humungous baby.

Bernie Sanders widens his lead in the California Democratic primary:

https://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Bernie-Sanders-California-poll-Warren-Biden-new-15016831.php

Quote
A UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll of likely voters released Tuesday shows that Sanders is leading the field with 26 percent of survey respondents. He's followed by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 20 percent and former Vice President Joe Biden at 15 percent. No other candidate reached double-digit support, with South Bend, Ind. Mayor Pete Buttigieg coming the closest at seven percent support.

If he has similar success in other Democrat strongholds like New York, Massachusetts and Illinois, the convention could be quite interesting.

The fact that the two most uber-leftist candidates (Sanders and Warren) are the most popular in California says something about that state.

I'm sure someone will soon be making sure you know that's racist, sexist, or something along those lines.

Biden calls a woman "lying, dog-faced pony soldier."  

https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/09/biden-woman-lying-dog-faced-pony-soldier-new-hampshire/

 ???

It's interesting that even some conservative outlets are framing it as a joke. OK, maybe it was, but could they maybe not take everything Trump says so seriously, then?


I see I've been scooped.

So does he really think she was WW2 US infantry that went into the RCMP, or is he a liar too?

Were RCMP called pony soldiers? I seem to remember U.S. cavalry being called that by natives out west.

Awkward

Pete accidentally calls “dark money” “black money” while speaking to a room of black people. He then makes it so awkward that it physically hurt to watch this video.

Ooops I hope this goes over like a lead balloon.

Quote from: From above link Emphasis mine.
"Ninety-five percent of murders- murderers and murder victims fit one M.O. You can just take a description, Xerox it, and pass it out to all the cops," he said. "They are male, minorities, 16-25. That's true in New York, that's true in virtually every city (inaudible). And that's where the real crime is. You've got to get the guns out of the hands of people that are getting killed."
 

At least he finally truly says it.

More inconvenient quotes from Bloomberg:

Quote
Mike Bloomberg defended stop and frisk: "I think we disproportionately stop whites too much and minorities too little. It’s exactly the reverse of what they’re saying. I don’t know where they went to school but they certainly didn’t take a math course or a logic course."
