Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg just made a major mistake that is going to cost him dearly with the true patriots of this country.

After reports surfaced that the downed Ukrainian airliner with 176 souls on board was actually shot down by one of the missiles launched by Iran, Buttigieg all but blamed Trump for the incident.

The Downed Airliner

Tragically, a plane carrying 176 people, at least 60 of them Canadian citizens, was shot down in the midst of the attack by Iran on our military base in Iraq.

Initially, reports stated that it was a mechanical failure, but news reports and satellite imagery tell a much different story.

Yesterday afternoon, our Pentagon confirmed reports that the satellite photos show a surface-to-air missile launched by Iran was responsible for the airliner going down and killing everyone aboard.

Reporters and Democrats could not point the blame on Trump quick enough, and Pete Buttigieg was among those that suggested Donald Trump was to be held responsible for these deaths.

To be very clear, it is common protocol that when a strike such as this is being launched, the airspace around the assault area will be deemed off-limits for commercial air traffic.

That responsibility falls to the country carrying out the attack, not the county being attacked.

Buttigieg knows this, yet he still decided to politicize the tragedy to make points, but it did not really play very well.

Immediate Backlash

The ink was not even dry on Buttigieg’s tweet when criticism for his comments started to blow up on Twitter.

Among the first to react was Texas Senator Ted Cruz…

David French, a veteran and journalist, also took a shot at Petey…

Dana Loesch also had a rather nice shot against Buttigieg, stating that perhaps he forgot to use some letters on his keyboard when he typed out his idiotic tweet…

John Noonan further made my point about the airspace being shut down, again, a fact Buttigieg should be aware of…

When CNN analyst Susan Hennessey hinted the downing of the airliner was also Trump’s fault, she too got called out for her comments…

Barack Obama carried out thousands of drone strikes while he was in office, killing hundreds of civilians in the process, including one that took out a wedding reception, and all we ever heard from the liberal media was crickets.  

Trump takes out arguably the most dangerous terrorist in the world with a precision strike that injured no civilians, and he is being treated like a war criminal.

If that does not scare you as to the direction of the Democrat party and the left-leaning mainstream media, well, then, consider yourself one of the liberal horde.
