So because a reporter f***ed up very badly, people are "done" with Buttigieg? [View all] scheming daemons Nov 2019 OP

It's insane isn't it? HerbChestnut Nov 2019 #1

Here is some hope. I heard about the correction first. berni_mccoy Nov 2019 #2

I wouldn't have been done with him had the original quote been accurate. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #3

Ditto. And to be clear, Obama was absolutely the best President in my lifetime. KPN Nov 2019 #14

Well said n/t Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #27

Agree about "demanded apologies".. especially when they're Cha Nov 2019 #55

The anti-Buttigieg posts have stopped, but I have yet to see the apologies here DavidDvorkin Nov 2019 #4

This one deserves more than an apology: demmiblue Nov 2019 #18

I agree MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #40

Neither do I Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #28

Here's two (from me) MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #30

Thank you for those posts. DavidDvorkin Nov 2019 #35

You're welcome MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #38

Thank you MerryBlooms MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #42

It just didn't sound right, and I'm so happy the reporter came clean. MerryBlooms Nov 2019 #45

Pete's run a pretty good campaign so far so that false quote gave me a nasty jolt MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #52

Did the people who read the article here know it was fake news when they "came down" on him? Autumn Nov 2019 #5

some doubled down and tried to still spin it as an attack on Obama Celerity Nov 2019 #19

there are the genuinely stupid stopdiggin Nov 2019 #29

Bingo. Tipperary Nov 2019 #59

Probably the same ones whining whistler162 Nov 2019 #51

I saw the correction before I read what the reporter had transcribed. Autumn Nov 2019 #58

Why does anyone believe negativity of a primary candidate on first notice. LakeArenal Nov 2019 #34

Happens all the time. But I knew Pete would never have said something like that. Autumn Nov 2019 #57

The ONLY one I am or have been "done with" is Tulsi Gabbard. The rest are doing just fine, IMO hlthe2b Nov 2019 #6

I agree that the reporter had a preconceived notion. Maybe he saw this old clip which is going viral Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #7

Wow -- an actual anti-apology! KPN Nov 2019 #15

The page you linked the tweet in scardycat Nov 2019 #41

Fixed it. Skya Rhen Nov 2019 #49

I've seen that clip, he's made other statements as well about "not going back." Thekaspervote Nov 2019 #56

So he says there's no going back to Obama or Clinton, the American political world since he was born betsuni Nov 2019 #60

Julian Castro jumped on that reporter error to make a snarky dig and has now deleted it Otto Lidenbrock Nov 2019 #8

good heavens what next...hes not my first choice but i know he would do a damned good job.. samnsara Nov 2019 #9

Good luck with that. demmiblue Nov 2019 #10

Bingo! KPN Nov 2019 #16

Thanks for posting this customerserviceguy Nov 2019 #11

Thought so. elleng Nov 2019 #12

Yes, apologies are in order. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #13

Where's all the chirpers? KPN Nov 2019 #17

already try to shoot a new angle with yet another spun-up pull quote attack Celerity Nov 2019 #20

Obama was the best President in my lifetime -- no question. KPN Nov 2019 #43

not that Pete said it, but yes Celerity Nov 2019 #46

Rec! cwydro Nov 2019 #21

For some, it's more than the misquoted Obama comment. dlk Nov 2019 #22

then critique him on that point please stopdiggin Nov 2019 #31

Correct dlk Nov 2019 #50

For some it's enough kacekwl Nov 2019 #47

Be cautious in everything we read. 33taw Nov 2019 #23

The ultimate irony - Barack Obama himself spoke out against this bullwinkle428 Nov 2019 #24

Some are too willing to believe bad things ... left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 #25

I personally find hyper-partisan supporters ALL to be distasteful... Moostache Nov 2019 #26

When we are under attack like this - I don't want ANY statements placing blame EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #32

How about false accusations? Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #36

I only saw one from the original thread do anything like an apology Bradshaw3 Nov 2019 #33

I noticed that also. nt Tipperary Nov 2019 #68

I agree with you. Just goes to show how fake news can dominate a news cycle. nt Ferrets are Cool Nov 2019 #37

Yes, and it has completetely distracted from a veterans plan that Pete put forth today. femmedem Nov 2019 #44

Yes it has and that's a shame MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #53

I knew something wasn't right which is why BootinUp Nov 2019 #48

Omg.. People were reacting to what the reporter quoted.. Cha Nov 2019 #54

After the updated post showing the correction and MerryBlooms Nov 2019 #62

The primary blame belongs to the reporter, no question about it MustLoveBeagles Nov 2019 #64

Even if he did make a mistake he is human and his heart is good. I would never be done with him! nt UniteFightBack Nov 2019 #61

I'll hazard a guess that 99.9% of Democratic voters have heard nothing about this story... brooklynite Nov 2019 #63

didn't change my mind nini Nov 2019 #65

Agree, not going to be a popular stance. MerryBlooms Nov 2019 #66

That wasn't an attack. nini Nov 2019 #67
