An LA Times journalist misquoted Pete Buttigieg as saying our current political problems are due to “failures of the Obama era”. The ACTUAL quote was not remotely the same. Meanwhile, Newsweek spread the misinformation, took the misquote and wrote a whole article about it.
While I don’t have one specific candidate to support in this primary, there are some I prefer more than others. The next General Election is too important to personally get attached this time around. I have spread positive stories on social media about multiple candidates & stay away from spreading negative stuff. It was sickening how avidly so many Democrats jumped on this last night and starting spreading this to sink Buttigieg.
So anyway, the journalist corrected the record on Twitter very early this morning but the damage has been done. It’s incredible how easily that damage was inflicted.
