Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted -- except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.

Remember the incredible amounts of money "Mayor Pete" somehow accumulated in 2019 and 2020 for his POTUS run?

Well, now that the Mossad and the Shin Bet are aware of this "Swatting" issue, they will protect their 2028 POTUS candidate.

How is being called by the CPS being "swatted"?
its kinda of a stretch you certainly aren't in as much risk as when "swatted"?

You guys, always inflating the victimhood.

The real story.

CPS doesn't normally respond in this manner to random unsubstantiated calls. Maybe they e fed up and overreacted. They are far from perfect. Bit this also may signal that something is being hidden and Buttigieg is trying to control the narrative. I guess we will have to wait to find out.

Right you'll give the benefit of the doubt to the rabid fascist cult instead of the patriotic veteran with a career of public service.

Endlessly.

Jussie Smollett.

You clowns ALL bought into that. Just like you did with Crystal Magnum and the Duke Lacrosse team. This one may be different but I'll wait until the facts come out before rendering judgement either way.

Everything before the word "but" is bulls*&^.

F*&^ off pedo ringer. You never accept facts that counter your bulls*&^ worldview anyway so stop acting like it's ever going to happen.

Did you actually read "the real story"?!? It's horrifying. Pete (and his kids) were clearly victims, and it was no doubt baseless and politically motivated.

And you're minimizing it?!? JFC.

You clearly handled some bad dick in the middle stall which is why you are so cranky.

Like I said, none of you has any factual knowledge as to why CPS did this. It's very possible they effed up big time. It's also possible that there is something there. I cited only a couple of examples where lefties leapt to conclusions before the facts were out and ended up with egg all over your faces. Hopefully this gets promptly addressed because if CPS effed up then what happened here is outrageous and heads need to roll.

BullBringer is nothing more than a piece of shit Trump supporter.

He gets pleasure from the suffering of others.

People like him were raised by horrible parents.

An abusive, racist father and an abused and neglected mother.

It's what makes him a good Trumper. Racism, abuse and neglect are what he's used to.
