Pete Buttigieg Just Savaged Donald Trump for Faking a Disability, and He Makes a Good Point (edited)

Speaking for all of us.

South Bend, Indiana Mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg didn't back down when asked if he believed President Donald Trump faked a disability in order to avoid serving in Vietnam.

When asked if he believed Trump should've served in Vietnam, Buttigieg asserted that he had a "pretty dim view of [Trump's] decision to fake a disability" in order to avoid service. The interviewer asked for clarification: "You believe he faked a disability?"


Mayor Pete didn't back down:

"Do you believe he has a disability? At least not that one. This is actually really important because I don’t mean to trivialize disability, but I think that’s exactly what he did.”

Watch below:

Buttigieg has served in Afghanistan, but Trump infamously avoided the draft to Vietnam five times due to college and then "bone spurs." Some outlets have reported that the podiatrist's bone spur diagnosis was done as a favor to Trump's father, Fred Trump.

People applauded Buttigieg's statement.

Trump wasn't spared in the comments either.

Way to go, Mayor Pete.

Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
