Pete Buttigieg: “You know, if Republicans really wanted to give everybody a few thousand dollars, they would have done it this week…”

A lot of people believed him when he said he was going to drain the swamp.

And I couldn’t help but thinking, as I rounded the edge of the mall, that the only thing he’s actually managed to drain is that reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

So forgive us if we don’t believe him when he says he’s going to give everybody $5,000, but only after the election and only if they win.

And then we wake up to see billions in crypto money going right into his pockets and corporate lobbyists getting their way everywhere from the AI industry to my old haunts at the U.S. Department of Transportation.
