South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg was supposed to be the smart and mature 2020 Democratic candidate. We can kiss that notion goodbye following the mayor’s embrace this week of the conspiracy theory alleging that the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race was stolen from erstwhile Democratic candidate and ongoing charity case Stacey Abrams.

“Stacey Abrams ought to be the governor of Georgia,” Buttigieg said during an address Thursday at the Democratic National Committee’s African American Leadership Summit in Atlanta.
