Lefties are not pleased with SNL for joking about Pete Buttigieg being a #WhiteObama, and not because they don’t want the ‘little mayor who couldn’t’ getting teased. No no, they’re mad SNL would even joke about Pete being close to a white Obama.
The bit itself is toward the end of the skit at the 8:15 mark …
Gotta be honest, this whole thing was pretty damn funny BUT the big takeaway for Twitter seems to be the joke about Pete being #WhiteObama. Ironically, the tag is trending ironically which is exactly what ‘Pete’ didn’t want to happen.

We’re not sure if this is freakin’ hilarious or just really sad for ol’ ‘I know they call me Mayo Pete’.
A little bit of both, perhaps.

Obama was a US senator before he ran for president. Pete is a small town mayor. White ppl always minimizing black peoples achievement #WhiteObama

I’m going to say this and I cannot stress this enough – Mayo Pete is not it whatsoever.
He offers absolutely nothing substantive and his issues with the Black community should be enough to disqualify him.
I suspect as we get into more diverse states, he’ll fall off#WhiteObama

Pete doesn’t want my black ass vote and I will follow his request! #WhiteObama

Pete gets to be #WhiteObama without a single drop of community organizing, and he gets to jack up cannabis arrests on black people to save them from violence. That all sounds very white.

It would appear they did not find this joke funny …
Pete Buttigieg wants to be#whiteobama
Nope

Like, at all.
Mayor DeBlasio really sucks. He is not #WhiteObama. Bill is not even #WhiteDinkins. #SundayMorning pic.twitter.com/4EL8tgIlV6

You can’t be #WhiteObama if you are polling at 0% with African American voters, Buttigieg.#WhiteObama according to Obama would be:https://t.co/FqM7BcC0rX

And once again we are reminded the Left has no sense of humor.
Good times.
