WATCH: 2020 Dem Pete Buttigieg Screams — America Was 'Never As Great As Advertised'
Openly gay 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg doesn’t believe America is great.
In fact, he doesn’t believe America was great at any point.
Why he’d want to run for POTUS then makes little sense, but since when do far-left progressives come correct with the logic?
From Breitbart:
Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg took a jab at President Trump on Monday while delivering a speech in South Carolina, saying America’s past “was never as great as advertised.”
Buttigieg noted, “So many of the solutions, I believe, are gonna come from our communities. Communities like the one where I grew up, which is an industrial mid-western city. That is exactly the kind of place that our current president targeted with a message saying that we could find greatness by just stopping the clock and turning it back.“
He added, “That past that he is promising to return us to was never as great as advertised, especially for marginalized Americans…and there’s no going back anyway.“

Regarding Pete’s communist-praising father, per Washington Examiner:
The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.
Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.

He spoke at many Rethinking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.
Ain’t that something?
Is this a man the American people really want to see running the country, given his familial background and current far-left leanings?
Unfortunately, by the time certain Americans wake up to the horrors of progressivism, it will be too late – and potentially irreversible.

He’s not a fan…
