Left-wing political writers, podcasters and netizens are increasingly latching on to the meme that Buttigieg is a spy, an intelligence asset, or a Freemason to further the criticism that the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is not what he seems." I'm as frequently annoyed by Mayor Pete as the next Warren Lover, but you guys. STOP IT.
This though, from The Root, about racism under Pete Buttigieg in the South Bend PD, isn't annoying. It's bad.
