What is the point of all these idiotic republicans voting against Buttigieg's nomination?

[George II]

With 95 Senators voting so far, 13 have voted no. WTF?

[fierywoman]

1. Haters gotta hate.

[DFW]

2. For many Republicans he has much going against him

He is smart, likeable, gay, young , capable, educated, and very personable.

What's there that a Republican wouldn't hate?

[George II]

18. Yes, as you say for many republicans he has much going against him....

He is smart, gay, likeable, gay, young, gay, capable, gay, educated, gay, and very personable...and gay.

[Mike Nelson]

3. Well...

... thought he was already confirmed. I guess idiots got to be idiots.

[EndlessWire]

11. So did I. n/t

[UTUSN]

4. They are petty bullies taking advantage of a system pinning down a better man than they are.

[duforsure]

5. They're scared to death of his intelligence,,

And what he'll uncover, and who will be exposed.

[LuvNewcastle]

6. Buttigieg is good at calling.out their lies and hypocrisy.

He goes on Fox News sometimes and does well against them. They hate that, especially from a queer.

[Thunderbeast]

7. They fear their homophobic base voters

[LakeArenal]

8. Future Fear.

[Aristus]

9. Cuz...cuz...cuz...

He's a homma-sexshul!...

[roamer65]

10. Homophobia.

Just like they didn’t like Obama because he was black.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

12. He's a Biden nominee; what other reason do they need?

Although there's probably some homophobia involved as well.

[Yavin4]

15. THIS

Trying to co-govern with a party that's petty, cynical, and dishonest is becoming an impossibility.

[eleny]

13. More sunlight on his competence is dangerous for the GOP

Biden has given Buttigieg more ability to have a strong political future.

[IADEMO2004]

14. He makes them look and feel "steeeuuupid" when he answers their questions.

[jcgoldie]

16. Can't put a gay guy in charge of roads and stuff because...

...uhmm...

[PufPuf23]

17. Hate is Christian but to love another man is an unforgivable sin? nt

[StarfishSaver]

19. They're afraid of him

He represents the future ...

And they're young guns can't match up with ours. I mean, Josh Hawley and Madison Cawthorne v. Pete Buttigieg and Stacey Abrams?

Not even close.

[GoCubsGo]

20. Idiots gotta be idiotic.

They can't help themselves.

[Demsrule86]

21. Did you know he is Gay?

[LAS14]

22. What were the votes like for the other cabinet appointees? nt

[George II]

23. Pretty much the same, about 10-12 no votes. But they're ganging up on Mayorkas now, 41 have voted...

...against him so far. He's got 53 votes so far so he'll be confirmed too.

The racist republicans are showing their true colors.
