The knives have been out for Buttigieg since his rise in Iowa ahead of the state's early voting caucuses.
These are just some of the insults that have been lobbed against 2020 Democratic hopeful Pete Buttigieg, the millennial mayor from South Bend, Indiana, and first openly gay man to run for president.
"The best candidate to beat a corrupt president is someone with clean hands," Adam Green, the co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee toldButtigieg may not be that candidate, Green said, because"spending his time with big money corporate donors really hurts Democratic electability against Trump because it takes the anti-corruption corporate accountability card off the table for 2020.
Still, many are calling on Buttigieg to release the entire list of clients he worked within his three years at the company. David Axelrod, the chief strategist for Obama's presidential campaigns, tweeted that Buttigieg is going to have to find a way out his non-disclosure agreement and"fully disclose the work" he did at McKinseyn order to appease progressives who have slammed the mayor for his lack of transparency on the issue.
When asked during the very first Democratic presidential debate in June about his failure to bring greater diversity to South Bend's police force, Buttigieg admitted he"couldn't get it done."
