Collaborator Hillary Clinton reproaches Buttigieg for "indefensible" attack on her

A Hillary Clinton's senior advisor criticized Peter Buttigieg, a Democracy candidate for 2020, saying it was "indefensible" for him to say that President Trump understood the concerns of ordinary voters that Clinton did not perceive.

"It's indefensible. [Hillary Clinton] ran on a belief in this country and the most progressive platform of modern political history. Trump ran on pessimism, racism, false promises and vitriol. Interpret this as you wish, but 66,000,000 people disagree. Good luck, "Nick Merrill tweeted.

"Donald Trump was elected because, in a twisted way, he pointed out the huge problems of our economy and our democracy," said Buttigieg. "At least he did not say everywhere that America was already big, like Hillary."

Merrill continued to flamboyant Buttigieg, retweeted one person who said, "It's pretty simple … Slam HRC … lose my vote" and another who replied, "It's unfortunate that people as smart as @PeteButtigieg engage in this fantastic fantasy on 2016 And as an American gay, it's disappointing because @HillaryClinton led a campaign that, among his many values, defended our community. "
