During the severely left-wing MSNBC show “AM Joy” with Joy Reid, far-left commentator Lauren Duca freaked out on the leading 2020 Democrats for president, claiming there is a “hodgepodge of nameless white men,” which she previously named. Some of the frontrunners she went after included Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper and Sen. Michael Bennett.
She also targeted the openly gay South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who she claims only gets attention because he is white and speaks Norwegian, while her apparent favorite candidate Julián Castro isn’t moving too far in the polls. She also bashed former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg for paying his way into the Democrat race.
“The comparison with Peter Buttigieg — I know — we brought up Julián Castro — Julián Castro speaks with stunning clarity on immigration and has critical experience in the sector of housing. He is almost largely ignored while Pete enjoys viral moments for speaking Norwegian. And then we bring up Mayor Bloomberg who thinks he can apologize to one black church and forget the legacy of ‘stop and frisk,’ while telling us that anyone is welcome to enter the race and voters are deciding the shape of things — he really wants to convince us we have an open-opportunity electoral process when he just paid to enter the race!”
Currently Julián Castro doesn’t even register in polls, while Pete Buttigieg is the Democrat frontrunner in Iowa. The Des Moines Register poll has Mayor Pete polling at 25%.
