Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg opened his speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night with a nod to his recent television appearances on Fox News, telling the crowd, "I'm Pete Buttigieg, and you might recognize me from Fox News."
He launched into criticisms of former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, who he characterized as "one of those guys who thinks if you don't live the life he has in mind for you, then you don't count."
"Choosing a guy like JD Vance to be America's next vice president sends a message, all right: doubling down on negativity and grievance. A concept of campaigning best summed up in one word: darkness. That's what they are selling. But I just don't think America today is in the market for darkness," he said.
