“At some point, Peter acquired a didgeridoo.' Pete Buttigieg’s childhood and college friends talk to ABC News about his knack for picking up unexpected talents—and how he came to have a passion for politics:
In 2002, George W. Bush was president, “Friends” was in its ninth season, and Pete Buttigieg was 20 years old, studying for his undergraduate degree at Harvard University.
Mike Deogracias, who went to high school with Buttigieg, said he loved “the claw game -- the thing that comes down to pick up toys.”“Oftentimes, I'd go to Walmart and he would be there, playing the game — you know, winning something and giving it to a kid,” he said. “Nobody can, like, really win the claw game, and he perfected it.”
“I think he always was interested in politics, always had that public service drive. But then September 11th added a level of gravity and probably a level of urgency to some of those interests,” he added. At the time, Buttigieg was involved with the Institute of Politics, which is part of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. Frank said it was a place where people on campus could go to “grill a world leader.”“It feels like a lot of your colleagues have adopted a posture of being for whatever the Republicans are for, only less. The tax cuts, just a smaller one, and the war — maybe not quite as quick as the Republican war.
