A senior adviser for Pete Buttigieg’s campaign has accused supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders of harassing their “staffers of color” after a white Black Lives Matter protester interrupted a campaign event on Wednesday evening.
The incident took place at an event in South Bend, where Buttigieg is the mayor.
Black South Bend Common Council member Sharon McBride was speaking at the Buttigieg event when she was interrupted by a white man wearing a BLM shirt.
“Where are the black leaders who don’t have three-piece suits, leather jackets, and nice clothing?” the protester yelled. “Who chose these people as black leaders?” He then took the mic from her and began yelling about there being a problem with police in the town before being removed by security.
