If you’re ever looking for a way NOT to win a primary look no further than the crap Pete Buttigieg pulled trying to prove black people really do endorse both him and his plan.
Seriously.
Wow.
Yesterday Pete Buttigieg put out a list of 400 Black South Carolinians that endorse him/his plan.
-A lot of the people are confused because they didn’t endorse.
-42 percent of the list is white.
-They used stock photos from Kenya.
Yet we have heard nothing from his campaign.

O.

So they put out a list of black South Carolinians who supposedly endorse him, but most of them are confused because they did NOT endorse him, almost half the list is white, and they used stock photos from Kenya.
KENYA.
This couldn’t get any worse …

Some explaining to do, ya’ think?
Pete Buttigieg’s campaign sent out an email telling people they needed to opt-out of being on the endorsement list.
This is not how is works. pic.twitter.com/s4SruVCXiE

If they didn’t opt-out after receiving an email they probably didn’t see in the first place that that means they endorse him?
FOR REAL?
One of the worst parts is that one of the names Pete Buttigieg’s campaign used is Johnnie Cordero.
Johnnie Cordero is the Chair of the South Carolina Black Caucus.
They really thought he wouldn’t notice.

HA HA HA HA HA HA
As a black man and gay man, it’s time that I took a sledgehammer to the intellectual laziness that perpetuates the myth that African Americans are homophobic and, therefore, won’t vote for Pete Buttigieg. https://t.co/AdrMsn8OU2

Oof.
This is unbelievable. Buttigieg put out a list black ppl who endorse his plan; half are white and the others include stock photos from Kenya — and ppl were told they had to *opt out* of endorsing.
This campaign is the whitest thing in the universe. https://t.co/ktcEO54LQF

Whitest thing in the universe.
Perfect.
Occupy Wall Streeter drinking a pumpkin spice latte while watching The Wire thinks Buttigieg’s campaign is too white.

As strategies go, this is certainly an… interesting one.

It’s white bread with a pimento spread.

Pimento salad.
Bleh.
Kamala Harris’ campaign is like “Damn that’s incompetent.”
