Pete Buttigieg is a great American and a great Democrat. He has worked hard and sacrificed for all of us as an able administrator in Joe Biden's cabinet, as a mayor, and as a military leader. He's a loving father and husband, he has many friends, and he's an inspirational leader of the Democratic Party.

This bullshit has got to stop! How can good citizens protect themselves from evil cowards who "drop a dime" and give no evidence - including their name - whatsoever? It's not right!
