Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.
Obama claimed Buttigieg couldn't win election because 'he's gay' and 'short'
The words matter, but it matters more who tells them, so - really nothing to be offended about here
Former President Barack Obama reportedly told a crowd of donors that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg could not win the presidency because "he's gay" and "short", according to a book on the 2020 presidential election.
Obama made his remarks about the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor during an October 2019 dinner event in New York in front of a crowd of black corporate donors, according to a book by NBC's Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes of the Hill.
During the same event, Obama joked about Buttigieg's age, sexuality, and height, stating them as reasons why he could not win the 2020 presidential election, according to the book, which was released Tuesday.
"He's 38, but he looks 30", the former president reportedly said of Buttigieg, prompting laughs from the audience. "He's the mayor of a small town. He's gay, and he's short".
Still, Obama made clear to mention before his remarks that he liked Buttigieg, though reportedly believed the reasons he listed would ultimately not lead the former mayor on a path toward victory.
