Pete Buttigieg senior adviser Lis Smith jumped into the conflict between California Senator Kamala Harris and former Vice President Joe Biden with a veiled shot at Harris for trying to “deep six” Biden at last week’s Democratic presidential debate over the issue of mandatory busing.

On Thursday morning, Smith tweeted “The story of the 2020 Democratic primary shouldn’t be how individual candidates used debates to deep six rivals and push litmus test policies they’re gonna disavow once they get a poll back.”

“Keep calm, carry on, and win the era!” she added.

1. this looks like an attempt to deal with criticism that Buttigieg might get

of the recent shooting and other problems with the police dept in his city.

2. which could backfire, too

His latest issue had to do with a police officer turning off a body cam. Kamala Harris in 2015 said she did not believe in having statewide standards to regulate the use of body cameras and that the rules should be left up to local municipalities.

This tweet might be baiting Harris to make body cams an issue.

5. +1. Everyone shut up about that town hall

Everything is under control - until the next shooting

3. I don't think there is a single DEM candidate who is what one could reasonably call racist

today...

Yet, their "general" opposition will surely be, and not in subtle ways.

Time to stop eating our own on this.

4. Not sure about that...

… why isn't it about Swalwell?

6. She has that right!

And bless her for speaking out.
