Pete Buttigieg Goes Savage, Says Swear Word During Interview!

You wouldn't like my daddy when he's angry. The New York Times Opinion is pulling out all the stops for its coverage of the Democratic primaries this year, interviewing the candidates individually, releasing the full transcripts, and then I guess eventually choosing which candidate they're going to officially endorse?

The Times’s editorial board has endorsed presidential candidates for decades. But never like this. All of our endorsement interviews with the Democratic candidates were conducted on the record. And we’re releasing the full transcripts of each interview. https://t.co/bBjEa3zYIQ

For a publication that laments the reality TV-ization of politics, this certainly feels like reality TV. No matter. Some rando in glasses tried to throw my dad a curveball question during his interview with NY Times Opinion, and Pete got raw and dirty to shut shiz down. He said a swear word! In Mike Pence's Indiana a swear word can land you behind bars. In Indiana the only time you say "motherfucker" is when you just say "mother" and when you're referring to your wife. As God intended.

Though he may not be as emotive as some of his Democratic rivals, @PeteButtigieg shows the editorial board a flash of the passion that he says propels his campaign. See more this Sunday on a special 2020 endorsement episode of @TheWeekly. Full transcript: https://t.co/ooUhup9cMH pic.twitter.com/UK72cQNJpX

Anyway while Pete's demonstration of unhinged masculinity is bleeped in the video, we know thanks to Mr. Thirsty Glasses' transcript that Pete actually said "bullshit."

In which Mayor Buttigieg describes one of my questions as "bullshit." https://t.co/BkCAzo059J

Naturally I assumed that the most explosive questioning would involve Pete's dramatically deteriorating health conditions regard his azz, but apparently there's other stuff going on with the campaign besides the candidate's butts. Who knew. Hey Pete. Pick me for your SCROTUS!

NYT: Can you give us some names of people you’d consider nominating to the SCOTUS?
Buttigieg: I think it’s irresponsible for me to name check folks for the future.
NYT: Donald Trump did it.
Buttigieg: And he is not my role model on things like this.https://t.co/KXyioS2xX0
