The Tea on Mayor Pete

I can't shut up about Mayor Pete, so here we are.

Enough folks have DMed asking me to change my name, so it's time to publicly say this: If the #PeteforAmerica political campaign aims to meet the needs of both the majority groups and the marginalized voices, so too should the grassroots campaign reflect this spectrum (thread)

This is a reminder that Obama accepted donations from super PACs, from millionaires and billionaires, from corporations, and created a nonprofit to funnel big donations through. Several times he even committed to not taking corporate money but then reversed the decision.

Pete Buttigieg regularly audits campaign salaries to make sure there is pay equality.

Across Buttigieg's campaign (300 employees) women are paid $1.11 to every $1 men are paid, according to Buttigieg aides.

Quick round of cornhole with @PeteButtigieg's team before #WingDing #iaCaucus

[Zach Graumann @Zach_Graumann]

The media loves the fake reality TV show drama, but what’s really heartwarming is how many of the candidates really respect each other. Nice moment with @AndrewYang and @CoryBooker #WingDing

Wow- 1800 person 5 pm crowd for @petebuttigieg in San Francisco right now. Biggest grassroots fundraising event we have held this entire campaign—>

[THAT DAMN PETE STAN @PPete2020]

Ok Team Pete, this is a podcast to get out into the twittersphere.

Listen to this incredible interview with @PeteButtigieg and ask yourself: why would @blairgarner’s employer decide he “couldn’t air it”?

Now that's an entrance

This might be of interest to those religious peeps who don't follow in the normal Dem footsteps and maybe are supporting Pete as a former Republican or third-party voter.

[Joy Beth @JBsTwoCents]

Interesting article on @PeteButtigieg. While I find it overly critical, Pete's opinions on the religious freedom cases are potentially telling. Religious freedom doesn't just protect my views; it protects the right to have views. https://t.co/JclXNX8ZCO

Man, this whole interview is fantastic. I learn so much just from listening to this man.

"The internet started out as the delicate flower. It had to be cultivated and we had let it see where it was going to go. Now ... it’s time to put in the guardrails." — @PeteButtigieg

Still wondering if a Mayor from South Bend can win?

A 37 year old newcomer to national politics has just outraised the most seasoned candidates in this race.

And we've just started innovating and operating at scale.

We're here to win this.

Pete Buttigieg on his plan to combat systemic racial inequality:

"This is not a gift. This is a restoration. It is trying to address generational harms and specific intentional theft that took place." https://t.co/ovPTNzdlgo

[The Tea on Mayor Pete @TheTeaOnPete]

Oooh. Looks like I missed something big?

[Lucas Carroll @Lucasfcarroll]

Obama. Clinton. Carter. Kennedy. Democrats do better when we fall in love, not in line. The notion of electability being based on moderation and safety is incorrect - successful Democratic nominees have historically been those who energize and excite.

I’m running to replace Mitch McConnell in the U.S. Senate. Everything that’s wrong with Washington had to start somewhere—it started with him. With your help, we can defeat Mitch and defend democracy. Join us: https://t.co/c4b0WAp4ji

This is why his fundraising haul is so important. If he has the money to keep building until more Americans tune in to the primary, he’ll have an opportunity to catch.

[Steve Brusk @stevebruskNews]

Pete Buttigieg, asked about President Trump's comments on the border detention facilities, told @DJJudd "maybe he ought to go sleep in one of those detention centers and then tell us about how great the conditions are.”

[it’s a new day! @CherrieBomb26]

Dammit @PeteButtigieg you have me so pumped this week. Raising the most money! That killer speech on race & the Douglass Plan! And now your plan for Service? I feel like I’ve discovered a still hidden precious jewel. You are killer! #TeamPete #PeteForAmerica #Pete2020

[Rodericka Applewhaite @Rodericka]

I *cannot* stress enough how important this statement is. @PeteButtigieg isn't here to score cynical points, he's running to take intentional action and move America forward.
