'Forget Mayor Pete, maybe we should call him Pope Pete, because don't you love how he, you know, because he attends church we're supposed to treat him as the be-all and end-all moral authority or the arbiter of who is and who is not operating in good faith.'

A day after 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg slammed Fox News' hosts Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, the two media personalities responded in kind on their respective programs.

"We should note the Democratic presidential candidates are not just running to be the chief executive of the country; they're also running to be the high priest, America's supreme moral authority. In the new religion of American liberalism, no sacrament is holier than abortion. It's so holy, in fact, that any restrictions on any limits at all are a moral sin," Carlson said before playing a clip of Fox News host Chris Wallace questioning Buttigieg about abortion.

"Well, obviously, he is a slippery demagogue but the point is the same," Carlson said after the clip aired."No, no limits whatsoever, to the moment of birth." "Of course, he's oblivious about his own deficiencies as a candidate because he glides through interviews, rarely facing tough questions," Ingraham said before referring to the network's town hall with Buttigieg."Now when he wasn't pushing for tax increases or lobbying lame cheap shots, he was trying to pass off political pabulum as some type of high-minded oratory."" showed this unattractive strain last night," Ingraham added.

"I think we need a papal proclamation,” Ingraham continued."This eager beaver mayor has perfected the art of mild-mannered extremism." She then listed the moderate speaking tone and"cool cat exterior" that Buttigieg allegedly projects are meant to make the"extreme seem down right pedestrian."
