Morning Joe Claims Buttigieg 'Mainstreams' Democrats, Ignores Hard-Left Positions

Has the liberal media ever met a Democrat it couldn't characterize as a centrist? Take Barack Obama. He had the most liberal voting record in the Senate. But that didn't stop Politico, for example, from in 2008 publishing "Obama’s steady centrism."

That same kind of false advertising was on display on today's Morning Joe regarding Pete Buttigieg. The panel was gaga over Buttigieg's town hall performance of last night on Fox News, leading Joe Scarborough to declare:

"This guy is going to play an important role in the mainstreaming of the Democratic Party for many years to come. And believe you me, that is exactly what he does, regardless of ideology, Mayor Pete mainstreams [the] Democratic Party."

Wait a second: mainstream "regardless of ideology?" Yup—that is exactly what Morning Joe did: it totally disregarded Buttigieg's policy positions. Not one of his agenda items was mentioned. Because to consider them would be to admit that the only "mainstream" Buttigieg's in is that of the left-wing of the Democratic party. Among Mayor Pete's positions:

Abolish the Electoral College
Pack the Supreme Court with liberals
No government limitations on abortion at any time
Citizenship for illegal immigrants
Support for Ocasio-Cortez's lunatic Green New Deal
