9. The tapes are worse than I thought

In the OP I will wrote that the tapes allegedly have racist insults from police officers. But there is more:

“The contents of the conversations have never been publicly disclosed, but a former police employee has said they include racist talk and even discussion of committing illegal acts.”

Buttigieg certainly has a lot of explaining to do.


If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
