Former CNN contributor says Pete Buttigieg believes Jesus was OK with bestiality

By Alex Bollinger · Friday, April 5, 2019

A prominent conservative pundit and former CNN contributor accused South Bend mayor and gay presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg of defending bestiality. Buttigieg, of course, didn’t even utter the word “bestiality.” But that didn’t stop Erick Erickson from publishing a story on his website The Resurgent with the title “Mayor Pete Buttigieg Apparently Thinks Jesus Would Be Okay With Beastiality [sic].”



The basis for Erickson’s argument is that Buttigieg criticized conservative Christians’ for their opposition to women’s reproductive freedom.

Buttigieg said that conservative Christians are “saying so much about what Christ said so little about, and so little about what he said so much about.”

Erickson contends that if “abortion is okay because Jesus did not talk about it,” then it follows that “bestiality is okay because Jesus did not talk about it.”

And if it wasn’t perfectly clear to readers that the entire point of the blog post is to put the word bestiality – er, that is, “beastiality” – in a title with a gay man’s picture under it, Erickson said that Buttigieg can’t really be a Christian because he’s gay.

what is an attack on our Democratic candidate and even on sexual freedom to our very diverse community in this way, DV. Not all will take it the way the people on LGBTQNation are going to.

Further, this is NOT the LBN forum, so that excuse for leading with Erickson's lie doesn't apply. If you feel it's worthy of discussion, Erickson's attack should be presented in a very different manner than he launched it.

some quotes

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Erick_Erickson


"In fact, exit polling by and large shows that John Edwards, by staying in the race, is taking votes that would otherwise typically go to Barack Obama. Is this a racist ploy? Is John Edwards in league with the Clintons to make sure white voters, who don't want to vote for Clinton, have a white alternative to go to, lest Barack Obama get more traction?"

"I did not realize the Nobel Peace Prize had an affirmative action quota for it, but that is the only thing I can think of for this news. There is no way Barack Obama earned it in the nominations period."

"Van Jones was just a black guy. With a black President, resources did not need to be brought to bear to defend him. Kevin Jennings, however, is not just a gay man, but a man who believes in the full gay rights agenda, where men and boys can have sexual relationships free of prudish moral people frowning."

"As the Clintons and their supporters continue their destruction of the Democratic Party, we see the latest salvo fired from the thighs of ugly nags. From the nether regions that see no men, New York's National Association of Gals is out bashing Teddy Kennedy for endorsing Barack Obama instead of Hillary Clinton."

"The nation loses the only goat fucking child molester to ever serve on the Supreme Court in David Souter's retirement."


"The left has decided anyone who wears a Make America Great Again cap is de facto racist. They don’t judge people based on the color of their skin, but on the color of their caps trading one bigotry for another."


Never mind that the public behavior of those wearing MAGA hats shows it to be practically the modern equivalent of wearing Klan robes.

didn't know that God personally talked to Erickson.

Erickson is probably one of those who would stone a man or woman to death because of some nefarious reason that he alone, decided is a sin. This is truly scary, for he would justify murder for those who committed these so called 'sins'. So much for the 'Christian' spirit, eh?

Erickson would be judge, jury, executioner, all in one. Scary, eh?

Think about this seriously. Would you ever want someone like this nut in any kind of responsible government position? He wouldn't respect the rights of others (first amendment rights) nor give due process when needed, or for that matter, wouldn't follow any constitutional restrictions if it suited him. No wonder those who were religiously persecuted left Europe and other places to come to the USA. This is one main reason why we have separation of church and state. People like Erickson.

IMHO, I know who the beast is and I know who truly is the Christian is. No contest.
