5:21Now PlayingPete Buttigieg is certainly the king of feel-good stories and a lesson in class, but the behavior that actually matters is being completely overlooked. Buttigieg has taken another cheap, and factually inaccurate, shot at Bernie Sanders this week by saying that he doesn’t believe Bernie can win a general election. The polls say otherwise, and Buttigieg is starting to show his true colors with these constant attacks. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

South Bend, Mayor Pete Buttigieg continues to take cheap shots at Senator Bernie Sanders who according to the latest round of polling is officially the Democratic Front runner. Even with Joe Biden throwing his hat into the ring. Now before we get into this latest thing, that Buttigieg said, it's worth noting that Democrats right now kind of have a a agreement to not be attacking personally one another in this primary. It's not happening except for Buttigieg going after Barney and earlier this week Bernie Sanders supporters saying they just wanted to blow up the system because they're too extreme. Well, now he's taken another cheap shot and said that I don't think Bernie Sanders could win a general election against Donald Trump. And to that, I have to say for somebody as intelligent as Buttigieg is, that was an incredibly stupid statement to make because it flies in the face of reality and polling data that he could easily find online at any given point.
Bernie Sanders is consistently polling at the top of the Democratic presidential nominee list. He is also beating Donald Trump and head to head match ups. Right now the latest polling data we've got us, he's beating Donald Trump in those Midwest battleground states that Donald Trump secured in 2016 to give himself the electoral victory needed to win the White House by every possible measure based on the polling data right now could change in the future, but right now Bernie Sanders Beats Donald Trump hands down. That's a reality. I don't care if you don't like Bernie. That's the reality. That is what we're living in. You can't deny the numbers and yet Buttigieg just did that. But instead of everybody saying like, what the hell is this guy's problem? Why does he keep going after Bernie Sanders when everybody else is agreeing to not attack each other personally? Instead of talking about that, they're all talking about, oh, he released a sign language video yesterday. He's such a class act. What a great guy. Oh my God, does he know nine languages including ASL? This guy is all flash and no substance and I am not kidding when I say that. Every time this man opens his mouth. I like him less. And that's really something considering the fact that just a few weeks ago I had said that Buttigieg was in my top three. Okay.
