As Twitchy readers know, a not-so-flattering video of Pete Buttigieg being coached on authenticity made its way around social media on Wednesday. It was a hoot. In case you missed the hullabaloo, there's this from Fox News:
Democrats campaigning in Pennsylvania inadvertently posted online a video giving a look behind the curtain on their 2026 midterm strategy and how they’re preparing to appear more authentic and win back voters who felt 'left behind.'
The clip viewed by Fox News Digital and not previously reported shows Democratic Pennsylvania candidate Bob Brooks in a conversation with Biden-era Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg — who couldn't even remember what district he was campaigning in. The pair received coaching from an off-screen staffer, urging them to stay on message.
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ Pennsylvania Democrat Congressional candidate Bob Brooks and Pete Buttigieg caught being coached on how to be authentic when interviewing about his race.
Buttigieg: "Remind me the district number again? 7?"

This was bad enough.
Of course, Democrats had to make it even worse (and funnier).

After Pennsylvania Democrat Bob Brooks & Pete Buttigieg were EXPOSED for needing to be coached on how to be authentic, the group that posted the video tried to delete it from the internet.
Too bad. We saved a copy.
See the FULL video the Bench, Bob Brooks, and Buttigieg don’t want you to see!

They would have been better off just ignoring it or waiting for the noise to die down. Deleting it only tells everyone how embarrassing it really was ... IS.
Al Alfano (@AlAlfano1) ~ No amount of coaching can offset what horrible policies they stand for.
The only thing authentic about Pete Buttgigged is that he is a committed rump humper/humpee.
