Posted at 11:38 am on March 2, 2020 by Doug P.

As we told you yesterday, Pete Buttigieg put an end to his presidential campaign.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio had been a harsh critic of Buttigieg, but his tone changed considerably after that announcement:

What a difference just over a week makes.

Before:

And hey @PeteButtigieg, try to not be so smug when you just got your ass kicked. You know how we form a winning coalition to beat Trump? With a true multi-racial coalition of working Americans: something @BernieSanders has proven he can do + you haven’t. Dude, show some humility
— Bill de Blasio (@BilldeBlasio) February 23, 2020

After:

Congrats @PeteButtigieg for running a great campaign! You made history + took us a step closer to the truly inclusive America we need to build. When you are ready to turn the Governor’s Mansion blue in Indiana, you will have a whole lotta us around the nation ready to help!

Bonus:

He also deleted one from just this morning trashing him lol
