Stephen Colbert: Guest Mayor Pete Buttigieg Wants To Solve Problems For The Next Generation



Presidential candidate Mayor Pete Buttigieg believes America has failed to make progress on problems that have arisen in his lifetime, like climate change and gun violence, and he hopes to solve those problems for future generations.




Afghan Veteran Pete Buttigieg Has A Vision For Ending The War



Mayor Pete is running for president in part because he wants to contribute some of his first-hand knowledge about the war in Afghanistan to a strategy for peacefully withdrawing U.S. troops from the country.

i think as a nominee for president he is a loser, and I say that as an opinion of the American people, not the mayor's preferences towards which I am neutral.

what do you think would be a good job for mayor pete in a democratic administration. maybe a good secretary of education or hud? both will require post trump rebuilding.

well, ok, back to the homosexual thing. I think he and his husband are doing an incredible job representing their interpretation of their lifestyle to americans everywhere. only the most rabid fundamentalist could consider mayor pete to be anything outside of normal.
