 Elidas Pete has more billionaire donors than any other 2020 Democratic Party primary contender. And to make matters worse and to make himself look better, he has attacked individuals running in 2020 who relied disproportionately on small grassroots donors. Now Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently called him out for this and he was asked about her criticism on Fox News of all places and his response was utterly embarrassing. I think it's safe to say he face planted and made an utter fool of himself. Take a look. Not surprisingly, the left is firing back at you when Elizabeth Warren said that she will not participate in big fundraisers even if she is the Democratic nominee against Donald Trump in the next fall. You said this. Let's put it on the screen. We are not going to beat him, Trump, with pocket change. Here's how Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez responded. All dollar grassroots campaigns, a.k.a. what Buttigieg insults here as pocket change out fund raise him by millions. Our nation's leaders should be working to end the era of big money politics, not protected. So what do you have to say to AOC? Well, first of all, you don't go from mayor of South Bend to a competitive presidential candidate without knowing a thing or two about grassroots campaigning. My campaign is fueled by the contributions of almost 600,000 individual donors, and most of those are small contributions. What I'm saying is that we can't go into this fight against Donald Trump with one hand tied behind our back. Look, the president of the United States and his allies just raised $125 million. They will pull out all of the stops to stay in power. And I think we have a responsibility to the country to make sure that we go into this fight as Democrats with everything that we've got and not unilaterally disarming. We indeed need to end the era of big money politics. That's why campaign finance reform is so important, and it will never happen as long as the folks currently in charge stay there. No, campaign finance reform will never happen if Democrats such as yourself partake in said corruption, because why should we expect you to change the corrupt system that got you elected in the first place? The answer is we shouldn't. Of course, if that system is what propelled you to victory, you're not going to change it. We'd be idiots to believe otherwise. Now to AOC's point, she's absolutely correct that, you know, Pete Buttigieg is getting beat by people who rely on grassroots fundraising. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are out raising him pretty substantially. Now Elizabeth Warren has said that she will be doing private fundraisers for the DNC in the general. She said this multiple times now, but you know, for her and Bernie to have out raised Pete Buttigieg by millions of dollars, it shows why his strategy is antiquated and he's just trying to justify his corruption. And he argues, you know, you don't go from being the mayor of South Bend to a competitive presidential candidate without knowing a thing or two about grassroots campaigning, except I'd actually argue that his lack of name recognition nationally is more of a reason for him to sell out quickly. Because if you have zero name recognition and you're really anxious, you want to get your name out there, you want to be competitive, one thing you can easily do is go beg rich people for money, they'll prop you out, get cozy with the elites in the media, they'll prop you up, and that's basically what Pete Buttigieg has done. And when you look at his fundraising methods, he is lying. He's not overwhelmingly relying on small dollar fundraisers. If you look at the money he's raising, 52.5% of all of his donations come from large donors, that's over $200. Now compare that to someone like Bernie Sanders where only 25% of his contributions exceed $200 and 57% of his total donations are from small grassroots donors at an average of $19. You see why Pete Buttigieg is lying. And when you consider how he's been brazenly doing fundraisers with rich people in the Hamptons and is actively colluding with Facebook CEO and data thief Mark Zuckerberg, it's safe to say that Buttigieg is lying about just how quote unquote grassroots fueled his campaign actually is. But you see, if you're Pete Buttigieg, it's really important that you sell out because quote, we can't go into this fight against Donald Trump with one hand tied behind our backs. You can't unilaterally disarm, you can't bring a knife to a gunfight, so you've got to sell out, you've got to take that corporate cash. You see how much it helped Hillary Clinton in 2016, even though Donald Trump beat her by raising half as much, you know, it's still important that we have that same philosophy that Hillary Clinton had, except of course, you know, that is quite literally a failed strategy, but I mean I'm sure that this time a different elitist technocrat is going to do better than Hillary Clinton. I mean Pete Buttigieg is so out of touch, it's why I think that the best nickname for him is elitist Pete. He's not running because he cares about policy, he's running because he's an opportunist who wants to advance his own career. I mean think about this, when he first jumped into the race, he supported Medicare for all. Fast forward a few months, he starts moving away as the donations from the health insurance industry rack up and all of a sudden he's one of the biggest, you know, opponents to Medicare for all. He's a fraud, he is a fraud and I have no doubt in my mind that if he were the nominee he would lose to Donald Trump because voters see through this, they see through these types of focus group driven, poll-minded politicians who are full of shit, who aren't looking out for them, who are only looking out for their own career to only get elected and then sell out everyone who helped them get elected. Look, Pete Buttigieg is one of the worst. It's a competition between him and Joe Biden for who's the worst 2020 contender. He's atrocious, he's got to be defeated, he's a bad person and anyone who takes him seriously, we have to educate them because Pete Buttigieg is not to be trusted. Pete Buttigieg would be a disaster against Donald Trump because he would get his ass beat because an elitist isn't going to fly in an anti-establishment era. I'm sorry, I don't care how many languages he speaks, I don't care how many Ivy League schools he attended, an elitist will lose. Period.
