Democratic presidential candidate South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg speaks speaks during a FOX News Channel town hall, Sunday, May 19, 2019, in Claremont, N.H. (Jessica Hill)Opinion writerSouth Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) snapped me to attention twice within the first 12 minutes of his hour-long Fox News town hall in New Hampshire on Sunday. not unreasonably dubbed “a hate-for-profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists.”The first moment came a little more than three minutes into the program in response to the second audience question that was asked. And we need to make sure this is an inclusive set of policies that's going to serve everybody well. [Pete Buttigieg has a clear vision for the Democrats: Freedom, democracy and security]The viewing audience also got to see and hear the reactions of the people at the town hall. The surprising applause for “Medicare for all” at the town hall with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) last month in Pennsylvania is still ringing in my ears.
