Video of Buttigieg praising the Tea Party in 2010 surfaces
Let's just say this is not going to help. Here is what mayor Pete said in 2010:
There are some, especially in my party, who think that the tea party is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Republican Party, he continued. But there are many others who believe that the tea party is motivated by real concerns about the direction of our government, and the responsiveness of our government to citizens, and above all the frustration with business as usual. That is what motivated me to run. And so while we may come from often very different perspectives, I believe we might find that we have a lot in common on that front.

Beyond his relationship with Solomon, Trump, and Giuliani, Finkelstein was Solomon's direct supervisor at The Hill and created the conditions which permitted Solomon to publish his conspiratorial stories without the traditional oversight implemented at news outlets.
And he has kept a watchful eye on the newspaper's coverage to ensure it is not too critical of the President.
As one former veteran employee of The Hill told CNN Business, "Solomon is a symptom of the larger problem of Jimmy Finkelstein."
This story is based on more than a dozen interviews with current and former staffers at The Hill, in addition to people familiar with other relevant pieces of information.
