#PeteButtigiegCalledMe Is Trending On Twitter. These Brilliant Folks Fixed It.

Pete Buttigieg had the honor of being called “a lying MF” in a recent article by The Root’s Michael Harriot for failing to say the exact magic words about racism in America. After taking the time to call Harriot to demonstrate his woke repentance, which resulted in another article, Buttigieg became a trending topic on Twitter.
The People of Twitter™, however, took the trending campaign in a markedly different direction.
The hashtag, co-opted by liberals and conservatives alike, yielded some fascinating and hilarious results.

#PeteButtigiegCalledMe and asked “is Michael Harriot a narcissist who would call Pete Buttigieg a “liar” for clicks, then squeeze a second article about Michael Harriot out of it, while never talking about Buttigieg’s actually bad, actually real record on racial issues?”

#PeteButtigiegCalledMe So I looked at his track record on poor and people of color and it is abysmal. He is an elitist that views the poor as a problem. One example: SB had a program that mandated home repairs and those that could not afford the repairs lost their homes.

And, lastly, my favorite:
#PeteButtigiegCalledMe to see if I would endorse his immigration and Latino outreach plans and left a voicemail telling me I had until 4pm that day to call back to opt out otherwise they would assume I endorsed and would put my name on a list that might be only 45-65% Hispanic
