Buttigieg Slammed for Telling School Kids Framers of Constitution Didn’t “Understand that Slavery Was a Bad Thing”

GWP:
Democrat presidential candidate South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is getting slammed for a resurfaced video sourced to 2014 in which he tells a group of school children the framers of the Constitution “did not understand that slavery was a bad thing”.

Buttigieg is getting hit hard by black voters, whom he has struggled all his campaign to garner support from.

“…Similarly, the amendment process, they were wise enough to realize that they didn’t have all of the answers and that some things would change. Uh, a good example of this is something like slavery, or civil rights. Uh, for, it’s an embarrassing thing to admit, but the people who wrote the Constitution did not understand that slavery was a bad thing and did not respect civil rights. Uh, and yet, they created a framework, uh, so that as the generations came to understand that that was important they could write that into the Constitution to ensure true equal protection for all of us.”

The video was posted on Saturday:

  1. Wow. When you hear what the D’s candidates are doing and saying on the stump, it just brings oblowme’s candidacy into sharper view, too. He was just as stupid and weird as everyone of the D’s candidates are this time around. How on earth do these people ever get elected?

    These are their voters, huh?

    I just read that the D roster lined up to kiss Shakedown Sharpton’s ring. Gah! What a world.

  2. I thought about writing a concise, straightforward comment explaining why he’s wrong, but then decided simply to write

    Eat a bag of dicks, you ignorant and arrogant progressive homo.

    There. That sounds better. (And my use of the word “straightforward” was quite deliberate.)

  3. Dems know as much about our history as they do about the history of their own party; they ARE the party of slavery, of the KKK, of Jim Crow, of segregation and of lynchings. They fought both reconstruction and the Civil Rights movement. They are the party of Nathan Bedford Forrest, Bull Connor, and George Wallace.

    Contempt of country, disbelief in American Exceptionalism, an opponent of capitalism, and no clear understanding of our role as a proponent of democracy, civil rights, and the sanctity of human life in general, all these shortcomings makes them bitter, ill informed, and wobbly with their facts.

  4. He is a fool.
    Judging the actions and motivations of people from the past using the mores of today is hubris and smacks of flippancy.
    May as well ask why Baal didn’t want teenagers, and gripe about ageist discrimination.
