Why Is the Gay Presidential Candidate, Pete Buttplug, Silent about Iran Hanging Gays? Mayor Pete, as he likes to be called, who has led the cry that Iran's shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner using a Russian missile is somehow the fault of an American president, Donald J. Trump, is among those who say it was "collateral damage" resulting from Trump trashing the flawed and unworkable Iran nuclear deal and his zapping of terrorist Quds Force commander Gen. Qassem Soleimani. Knowing that Democrats obey Rahm Emanuel's famous observation that a crisis is a terrible thing to waste, Mayor Pete wasted no time attaching his name to the slander that the 176 innocents aboard the Ukrainian plane would be alive today were it not for Donald Trump's insistence that Iran not get a nuclear weapon with which to annihilate the Jewish state of Israel: Buttigieg may not have noticed, but there was no tit-for-tat that fateful night.  Iran was shooting ballistic missiles at an American base in Iraq.  President Trump withheld returning fire.  Soleimani was already dead, and if Buttigieg thinks the death of the terrorist responsible for the killing and maiming of thousands of American soldiers and other personnel was unwanted and unnecessary, then add that to the list of reasons he is not quailed to be president. Soleimani was illegally in Iraq to oversee the storming of the American embassy there, and possibly others elsewhere, with the result being another 1979 hostage situation or another Benghazi. No, Mayor Pete, Trump saved many Americans that night and quite possibly the state of Israel by showing he means business, has thought the consequences through, and is not daunted by the Iranians.  Iran bears sole responsibility for the deaths of those 176 innocents, just as Iran bears sole responsibility for the public hanging of gays, which Mayor Pete and his fellow Democrats seem to have no problem with.  While you obsessed over Trump bringing on World War III by killing the world's most dangerous terrorist, the Jerusalem Post reported on the evil that is Iran: Iran can do no wrong even if it goes against Democrats' core principles, if you can say they have any.  Mayor Pete is openly gay.  The irony here is that if he were running for president of Iran and not the United States he would most likely be hanged before the second presidential debate.  His silence is so remarkable since he is such a fierce advocate for the rights of the LGBTQXYZ community or whatever the politically correct identification is these days. Buttigieg, an Episcopalian whose church ordains gay and lesbian priests, has lectured Christians on their alleged hypocrisy and intolerance for opposing abortion on demand and gay "marriage" and believing homosexuality is a sin.  Some Catholics have been referred to as "cafeteria Catholics" for picking and choosing which doctrines to obey.  Episcopalian Pete must read his Bible through the distortion of a funhouse mirror, at least according to his evangelical brother-in-law's comments to the Washington Examiner: C'mon, Pete — Jesus said, "I am the Truth."  There are no different interpretations here to justify abortion-on-demand. When Mary, carrying Jesus, met with Elizabeth, carrying John the Baptist, Elizabeth's baby, Scripture says, leapt in her womb. Evangelist and humanitarian Franklin Graham holds the traditional Christian belief that homosexuality is a sin and that Christians are supposed to love the sinner but not the sin.  He also believes that God does not put people into the wrong bodies.  Graham said in a tweet: Again, Buttigieg's evangelical brother-in-law has a few words on Pete's moral origami: Certainly, Christians do not stage public hangings of gays as Iran did just as it was shooting down the Ukrainian airliner.  Pete condemns one but not another.  Was that hanging also Trump's fault or merely another sign of the true nature of the regime that kills Americans and wants to nuke Israel? Yet Buttigieg has no criticisms of Islam, sharia law, or Iran.  For your second honeymoon, Mayor Pete, I would not suggest Tehran. https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/01/why_is_the_gay_presidential_candidate_silent_about_iran_hanging_gays.html
