Pete Buttigieg Just Gave A Master Class On How To Deal With A MAGA Heckler At A Biden Rally

Pete Buttigieg Just Gave A Master Class On How To Deal With A MAGA Heckler At A Biden Rally

In recent weeks, former presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has made something of a name for himself as an expertly skilled debater of right-wing ideologues after several appearances on Fox News in which he calmly and clearly rebutted right-wing rhetoric.

Those live on-air arguments seem to have trained him well when he was verbally attacked by a MAGA heckler at a rally for Joe Biden.


Buttigieg pushed back at the guy so skillfully, he even Jedi mind-tricked him into supporting a key left-wing political goal, and the video has the internet cheering.

It all began when, during Buttigieg's speech at the rally, which was held in Tampa, Florida, a heckler in a MAGA hat stepped in front of Buttigieg's podium and began screaming "Trump 2020!" and "Say no to Sleepy Joe Biden!"

At first, Buttigieg simply continued his speech, but when the heckler wouldn't stop, Biden supporters attempted to intervene. Buttigieg told them to stand down because, "we're bigger than him," and then addressed the man directly.

"Okay dude, but can I finish my remarks? Are you afraid to hear what I have to say? Are you afraid to hear what I have to say? Are you afraid to hear what I have to say?"

He then abruptly changed his question.

"Do you denounce white supremacy?"

And, perhaps because he was flustered by Buttigieg's unflappability, the heckler answered, "Yes," as the crowd erupted in cheers and Buttigieg finished this incident with the perfect closing line.

"Good! Then we AGREED on something. That's a beginning point. See if you can get your president to do the same thing."

Of course, Twitter had an absolute field day with Buttigieg's heckler-handling prowess.











Florida was instrumental to Trump's election in 2016, and is among the most hotly contested states in this year's election. Biden currently leads there by an average of two points in recent polling.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
