Dude. YIIIKES! What Pete Buttigieg Said About Adopting Black Babies Was Shockingly RACIST (Watch)

We knew Democrats were the party of slavery, the Klan, and Jim Crow, but watching a modern-day Democrat say something like this about adopting black babies is shocking, even to those of us who have been covering this racist, discriminatory, backwards party for decades.

If you're anything like this editor, you won't believe what you're hearing and will have to go back and listen again.

Especially at the 1:15 mark.

Watch:

Pete Buttigieg says there’s a “discount” for adopting Black kids (Around 1:15)

He catches himself and then says he means there’s no deposit, but…YIKESpic.twitter.com/OBGEMaiGvN

As if saying, 'There's no deposit,' in any way makes what he said any better.

Add to the fact he's trying to be cool with this group of dudes is super cringe.

Gross

Also, Buttigieg trying to be cool with these dudes is very cringe. https://t.co/n2UhABj3Vc

The cringiest.

Nothing to see here. Just a totally normal way to talk about starting a family

Goodness

There is no goodness here.

Does he think adopting black babies on a discount is going to help him win votes with the black community, which completely ignored him last time?

Doesn't seem like the best campaign messaging, you know? Hey, vote for Pete and he'll tell you how to get a deal when you adopt a black baby.

Clunky.

Ahem.
