You know the campaign’s getting weird when this happens:
Sharon McBride was hoping to showcase the good done by her mayor, Pete Buttigieg, for her community — African American residents of South Bend, Ind. — when a voice interrupted her from the crowd.
“Where are the black leaders who don’t have three-piece suits, leather jackets, and nice clothing?” asked a man in a “Black Lives Matter South Bend” shirt, grabbing the mic out of her hands on Wednesday. “Who chose these people as black leaders?”
McBride, a city council member, is black. The man who interrupted her, she said, is not.
….
McBride said she organized Wednesday’s event with other African American leaders in South Bend, including several pastors and other council members, to counteract the “false media narrative” that their mayor has struggled to find support among the city’s black community.
You can see this appalling conduct on video here:
A top Buttigieg staffer said the white male was a Sanders supporter and this was part of a larger pattern:
Worth noting that Buttigieg tops the polls in Iowa and is battling Sanders for the lead in New Hampshire.
