Former South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who also ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination just blamed President Donald Trump for all the violence that has been happening in the past few days, particularly in Kenosha, Wisconsin. He made the insane statement when he appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Special Report.” Buttigieg was asked by the host if the Democrats are giving Republicans issues to attack them with. It was in reference to the refusal of the Democrats to condemn the violent protests that have been happening all over the country.

“I think Democrats have always been clear that we support the peaceful right to protest and also that we believe in nonviolent protest,” Buttigieg answered. “We also have to address the underlying issues here, and the simple reality is that we are seeing more and more chaos and violence under the Trump presidency, and there’s no reason we would expect that it would get any different or any better if he were re-elected.”

Buttigieg said that President Trump is not ideal for dealing with the riots that are happening in the streets since he “master of chaos.” The former mayor added that “we’ve seen the president’s ideas of how to deal with peaceful protestors, like when he teargassed protestors in Lafayette Square, leading even military leaders to apologize and a lot of Republicans to condemn his behavior. I wouldn’t be looking to the president for advice on how to deliver peace and stability. He is a master of chaos. He thrives on it, and I don’t think he has any interest in justice or peace when it comes to issues today, which is how to make sure we have racial justice and peace and security in our cities and every part of the country.”

Buttigieg’s response is typical of the Democrats and the left, in general, these days. It seems that they are serious about pinning the blame on Trump for all the ills that are happening in America right now. Buttigieg has failed to point out to the real cause of the civil unrest which is the mainstream media lying about what really happened with the George Floyd incident or the shooting in Kenosha. The Democrat officials of states and cities are also to blame since they have refused to take action against the rioters who are destroying their cities. They have the full power and authority to stop the rioters before they can do harm but they refuse to push their political agenda.
