Mayor Pete is at it again… tearing into Republican Christians.
He picked on Christians at last night’s Democratic debate, knowing it’s a trendy topic for the left.
The South Bend, Ind. Mayor, who declared Democrats as the party of “separation of church and state,” took a shot at the religious right discussing the separation of families at the border.
“The Republican Party likes to cloak itself in the language of religion,” Buttigieg began. “We should call hypocrisy, and for a party that associates with Christianity to say it is OK to suggest that God would smile on the division of families at the hands of federal agents, that God would condone putting children in cages has lost all claim to ever use religion language again.”
Of course this, and his support for “decriminalizing” illegally crossing the border, earned him raucous applause.

Dear Lord, this is pathetic. This isn’t about Christianity or righteousness. This is about getting votes… and he seems to know exactly what buttons to push.
The Episcopalian has been outspoken about his faith, more so than the majority of the candidates as the Democratic Party seeks to galvanize the religious left.
Buttigieg has previously attacked President Trump for “hypocrisy” when it comes to Christianity and, while he was once cordial with Vice President Mike Pence, he has used his sexuality to take a swipe at the former Indiana governor.
“If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade,” Buttigieg recently said at an LGBT event. “And that’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand: that if you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.”
But Pence said the two had a “great working relationship” and “he knows better. He knows me.”
I honestly think this guy is such a weasel.
