"As a Democrat, I don't want to be explaining why our nominee is encouraging people to look on the bright side of the Castro regime when we're going into the election of our lives." -@PeteButtigieg #CNNTownHall #JuntosConPete pic.twitter.com/hTqE7pFyzm

"There's no job like President, but there's no job like Mayor. Mayors aren't just hoping to vote the right way, but you're accountable for the actions right then & there. You're a walking symbol of the unity of your city, including those who don't support you." #PeteForAmerica pic.twitter.com/ABo672R77K

"I believe federal funding should never be used to discriminate; it's a basic principle. People should be able to practice their faith or no faith; but that freedom ends when you use it to invoke harm on others, or restrain their freedoms." #PeteForAmerica #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/IhHQAvMn7r

"It's unacceptable that service members make it home from a deadly conflict abroad, only to suffer here at home. The US must support you while on duty and when you return. We must hire more mental health professionals to the VA to support veterans" #PeteForAmerica #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/BnnZpDGBxP

🔥🔥 @PeteButtigieg won't sugar coat this presidency:

At a moment like this where we have such terrible division, I don’t think it makes sense to match it with a different form of division. #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/2oq4yCNIz0

You can’t just cross out a racist policy, replace it with a neutral policy, and expect things to get better. We need a comprehensive agenda to right past wrongs and empower Black Americans: https://t.co/T0WKZ3urMF #CNNTownHall pic.twitter.com/S6HHgFVUFH

No weapon remotely resembling what I trained on to serve in Afghanistan has any business being sold for profit near a school, a church, or anywhere in this country. #CNNTownHall

REACTIONS
Listening to the #cnntownhall the thing I am struck by is how concise, crisp, and direct @PeteButtigieg is. No bloviating or long speeches like Steyer or disjointed rambling like Biden.

Pete Buttigieg makes the mistake of trying to raise the roof at tonight's #CNNTownHall, immediately regrets it. pic.twitter.com/AeWhKnu33f

. @PeteButtigieg’s answer on gun reform has been the best answer I’ve heard yet (since @KamalaHarris). We desperately need gun reform in this country and we need a candidate with a concrete plan. #PeteButtigieg #CNNTownHall #Election2020

My husband: “Listening to @PeteButtigieg after listening to Bernie is like being in 2 different worlds. We NEED Pete.”
— Whit Mixdorf (@whitmixdorf) February 25, 2020
Yup. ✌🏼#PeteOnCNN
Listening to Mayor Pete’s #CNNTownHall and I’m again struck by his ability to cooly articulate Democratic principles in ways that unite rather than divide - something ‘No Drama’ Obama did definitively well.
— John Avlon (@JohnAvlon) February 25, 2020
Every time I listen to @PeteButtigieg I am more impressed. #CNNTownHall
— Jules85 (@wilsonjules85) February 25, 2020
@PeteButtigieg ‘s A to @donlemon ‘s Q just now about the impact his campaign is having for LGBT people was powerful. “If I could’ve taken a pill and not be gay, I would’ve done it in a second. ...A& thank God I didn’t.” I wished for that pill too. And I’m glad it isn’t a thing.
— Michael Gueltig (@mgueltig) February 25, 2020
That statement from @PeteButtigieg saying he would have taken a pill to not be gay...goddamn that hit me, I felt the same way...got tears in my eyes #CNNTownHall
— Dan (@dfstone) February 25, 2020
Watching the #CNNTownHall - still think #MayorPete is the best against the dangerous fool currently in the WH. #USPolitics #TeamPete
— LuLu (@LaLa_Po) February 25, 2020
He's saying things that Bernie and Biden can only dream about saying...it's time to stop the old white straight men parade of presidents...it's time to be seen...#WinTheEra @PeteButtigieg
— Joseph E (@Joseph_E_Faith) February 25, 2020
Listening to Pete speak, you cannot tell me he isn't equipped to be president from day one! #CNNTownHall
— The Chudilorian✪ (@RealChudi) February 25, 2020
That speech cut to the bone. So powerful #PeteForPresident #PeteforAmerica

@PeteButtigieg never wants to be the smartest in the room, the only thing is that he is one of the smartest men in America.#PeteOnCNN
— Angela Stephens 🐝 (@AngelaMarreta) February 25, 2020
One reason I am not worried about @PeteButtigieg's experience is exactly what he just said in his town hall: the team he surrounds himself with. The fact that his candidacy has ascended this far speaks to his ability to choose talent. Obama did the same. Trump does the opposite.
— Allison Winn Scotch (@aswinn) February 25, 2020
Mayor Pete is killing it! We need to have a veteran in the White House! #CNNTownHall
— Adri Smith (@adrismith81) February 25, 2020
Pete is by far the most impressive candidate in the field. #cnntownhall

When @PeteButtigieg is on tv, I act like my uncles when they watch football. #CNNTownHall
— Ishmael Cody-Harvell Text PETE to 25859 (@IshmaelInNV) February 25, 2020
.@PeteButtigieg is wise to call everyone into the tent as opposed to @BernieSanders calling everyone to his socialist policies. #CNNTownhall
— Alice Stewart (@alicetweet) February 25, 2020
This is just how Pete talks. He is calm, thoughtful, kind and wise. This is just who he is. #CNNTownHall #TeamPete
— Just Jillian™. 🐝 (@jackrelax) February 25, 2020
Yes... Spicy Pete not holding back on drawing the difference of why his campaign is better than others, specially the campaign which is alienating many with sticking up for brutal dictators, for example... Thank you @PeteButtigieg
— Hungry Heather (@HeatherMotta1) February 25, 2020
Once you hear the original mind of @PeteButtigieg you feel like for the first time, everything makes sense
