I saw two red flags. First was his dig at Hillary’s financial policy. The second was a story about one of his South Bend constituents, an elderly woman who had called the city for assistance removing a dead animal from her property. In Buttigieg’s telling, she was too stupid to understand how they were trying to help her. Although Buttigieg did not use those words exactly, the inference was clear. The fact that Buttigieg chose to share those particular thoughts was telling to me. Then, there is the tweet in this post where Buttigeig promotes a false equivalency between Hillary and Trump, That only further confirmed my suspicions.

I was married to someone very much like Buttigieg- Ivy League educated, well-traveled, brilliant, erudite and witty. He also had a well-hidden, deep vein of misogyny. I see similar signs with Buttigeig. You don’t have to agree with me. The good news about the very long vetting process for those running for President is that much of a candidate’s character is revealed.
