Respected Middle-Aged Journalist Who Accused Biden of ‘Genocide’ Slams Pete Buttigieg for Supporting ‘Far-Right Eugenics’
29th May 2025
Taylor Lorenz, a widely respected journalist who has worked for the New York Times and the Washington Post, and who recently appeared in an Emmy-nominated documentary series on CNN, has accused former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg of supporting mass murder and “embrac[ing] far-right eugenics.” Lorenz, 40, previously accused former president Joe Biden of committing “war crimes” in Gaza and “genocide” in the United States (by failing to reinstate COVID-era masking policies). On Wednesday, she lashed out at Buttigieg on social media after the failed presidential candidate argued Democrats should not have been so averse to reopening schools during the 2020 pandemic.
“Pete saying he would have ‘opened the schools sooner’ in 2020 aka killing MORE vulnerable ppl faster, sacrificing teachers and educators (and kids!) lives to force them back into unventilated buildings [with] no protections,” Lorenz wrote on X, the immigrant-owned social media platform. “Disgusting how Dems have fully embraced far right eugenics.”
Lorenz’s view appears to be more in line with the one expressed by Pete’s husband, Chasten Buttigieg, in a July 2020 interview with Time magazine. “There’s already a flight risk of teachers fleeing the profession,” he said. “I don’t want to see teachers leaving the profession on gurneys.” Democrats, teachers’ unions, and their media allies routinely accused Republicans of wanting to murder children by opening schools too soon. They claimed to be on the side of “science,” even though they were not.
