Unlike other Democrats, Pete Buttigieg has no use for Ronald Reagan’s legacy
Washington Examiner, Jul 19, 2019, Emily Larsen

Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg, 37, is declaring an imminent end to the era of Ronald Reagan, a break from Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi who often evoke the 40th president while laying out their vision for the future.

“The New Deal era lasted almost 50 years only to come to an end with Reagan,” Buttigieg said in a speech at the Young Democrats National Convention in Indianapolis Thursday night. “That the Reagan era lasted the next 40 years with even Democrats sometimes acting like the only thing you can ever do to a tax is cut, the only thing you ought to do with government is shrink it.”

“The New Deal era ended with Reagan. The Reagan era ends with us,” he said.
