TheWrap · Pete Buttigieg Invokes His Military Service to Roast JD Vance: 'Our Commitment to the Future of this Country was Pretty Damn Physical' | VideoThis November, he says, voters in the US can "choose better politics" and "embrace the leaders who are out there building bridges and reject the ones who are out there banning books"

And now he's screaming about criticisms of his own service. What a pathetic, hypocritical #crybaby! If you want #respect, you have to give respect.
