The Vigilante From South Bend

On the evidence just of his attacks on Vice President Mike Pence, Buttigieg is a shameless liar, a calculating character assassin and an anti-religious/anti-free speech bigot, motivated by a virulent hatred of his political opponents, especially those who have been good to him like Pence.

When Buttigieg made his public announcement, Pence, then governor of Indiana went out of his way to praise his achievements as mayor - a bit of political hyperbole since Buttigieg's city, South Bend, is a violence-ridden mess.

Even after Buttigieg's outrageous attacks, Pence has not had an unkind word to say about him.

The basis of Buttigieg's attacks is his invention of a non-existent Pence animus towards gays.

Speaking to a CNN lap dog in a venue where Pence was not present to defend himself, Buttigieg said: "If me being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade," Buttigieg continued, "And that's the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand. That if you got a problem with who I am your problem is not with me - your quarrel, sir, is with my Creator." In other words, God is on my side.

There is no evidence that Pence has a problem with the fact that Buttigieg is gay; indeed the evidence is quite to the contrary.

In the short time since Buttigieg announced he was gay, far from being persecuted as the member of a "Marginalized" group, his political fortunes have taken the form of a minor miracle - an obscure mayor from a violence-ridden city of under 100,000 catapulted into the national limelight as a leading contender for the Democratic presidential nomination.
