As “Mayor Pete” Buttigieg struggles to stay afloat in the large field of 2020 Democrat presidential candidates, the hits keep coming. After details about the city he runs as Mayor unfolded showing that he’s not such a great Mayor, let alone a presidential candidate, and being exposed for his socialist past, President Trump knocked him another notch.
Recently, he was berated by President Trump on Twitter, given a new nickname of Alfred E. Newman, (a reference from Mad Magazine), and told he would never be president, all in the same Tweet.
“Hard to believe that @FoxNews is wasting airtime on Mayor Pete, as Chris Wallace likes to call him. Fox is moving more and more to the losing (wrong) side in covering the Dems. They got dumped from the Democrats boring debates, and they just want in. They forgot the people who got them there. Chris Wallace said, “I actually think, whether you like his opinions or not, that Mayor Pete has a lot of substance…fascinating biography.” Gee, he never speaks well of me – I like Mike Wallace better…and Alfred E. Newman will never be President!”

Well, now Pete Buttigieg’s own brother in law is accusing him of lies and dishonesty. This can’t be a welcomed sign for the candidate, who enjoyed a nice boost in the headlines for a few weeks but has fallen from grace since the Presidential Tweet.
Rhyan Glezman has taken to the media to describe how his younger brother, Chasten Buttigieg, husband of Pete, has been pushing a false narrative about a family that “rejected” Chasten for being gay, to try to victimize himself for a story that would be sure to resonate with the very pro LGBT left wing, if believed. Unfortunately for Chasten and Pete, this story might just not be exactly as framed.
From the Washington Examiner, Rhyan describes in detail his side:
Rhyan Glezman, 34, a pastor in small-town Michigan, said he was inundated by death threats and hate mail when stories surfaced this month claiming he was a bigot who had fallen out with his younger brother Chasten when Chasten came out of the closet.
But rather than rejecting his brother Chasten, a would-be “first gentleman,” Glezman, who has run the Clio Community Church for the past two years, said his family has been loving and supportive throughout.
“A mayor from a small city and his husband, a child who grew up with nothing and his parents kicked him out … it makes a perfect political story for the campaign,” he said in an interview with the Washington Examiner at his church in Clio. “To me that’s very sad. If that’s all you have to stand on, you’re not fit to be president of the United States.”
This is certainly not a good look for Buttigieg, especially in an era where “faking the victim” such as Jussie Smollett did with his fake MAGA Country hoax, is frowned upon by almost all people on both sides.
This coupled with daunting poll numbers showing Joe Biden in the first place, Bernie in second, and even an off possibility that Hillary Clinton could run again is not boding well for “Mayor Pete”.
