I find it hard to believe these mistakes are his, and not someone his campaign.
He does need to take a good hard look at his lead strategists though.

Imagine if another candidate did this, fabricated black support. Not once, but several times. I feel like Pete doesn't get nearly enough heat for this.
The guy was a McKinsey consultant. He knows what he's doing.
As a black voter, pandering and lies like this just disgust me. These people KNOW they have to win the black vote to win and yet instead of putting in the work to get it lie. I really liked Pete at first but he's just so slimy and gross to me now. It's pathetic how desperate he seems to be.
The campaign is a reflection of the candidate. If someone in his campaign has gotten caught faking black support multiple times, he is either fine with it or incompetent. Most likely both.
Because this is overblown, people focused only on the mistaken ones, not all the other actual supporters that are documented.
If they had strong documentation of black support they wouldn't have to lie.
Dude could still potentially do a lot of good in his career but seriously needs to sit down and evaluate the choices he and his campaign are making. If he ever wants to run on the national stage again or be in a prominent position in the national democratic party he really needs to get a clue.
The further we get into the primary he sounds more and more like a robot trying to do an Obama impression
No. No, it is not overblown when you are looking at a candidate like Mayo Pete, who had a troubling record of racism as mayor, and who consistently polls under 5% with black voters. He has a real problem with black primary voters. We do not fuck with him.
The claims were made in an op-ed under his name. Maybe a speechwriter wrote the editorial, but this is absolutely the type of campaign material that needs direct sign-off from the candidate.
Not only does Buttigieg not have their explicit support, they then ask them to support him anyway to match his narrative? That's really fucked up.
In a month he's going to claim that he and Nipsey Hussle would often share an intense game of StarCraft during the holidays.
Wait a second guys
Remember when Keegan Michael Key was set to endorse him?
It turned out like 8 hours later that Mayo Pete's camp said he hadn't actually endorsed anyone... lmao.

Well if thinking the iraq war was justified wasn't a dealbreaker... yeah. Nom nom.
You guys just don't understand Pete's midwestern folksy ways. When a waiter brings him an appetizer or refills his water glass, he says "Thanks, Partner!" Like the salt of the earth he is. That's all he meant by saying he partnered with these places. You'd get this if you were good-hearted midwesterners instead of coastal degenerates.
He's a Democrat running for president faking his African-American support this is not over blow.
Damn I'm so over this dude. These kind of antics are obnoxious and these candidates must really think we (black people) are stupid.
Honestly this whole primary has been a shitshow.
lmao
Honestly this whole primary has been a shitshow.
lmao
Looking at the polls, all Pete needs to do is raise a few hundred million dollars and absolutely blanket television with ads that imply that Obama has endorsed him
so his campaign keeps lying about black people supporting him and then when anyone asks him about his awful record on support for African Americans he just says nothing. I mean if you think that's not a problem.... okay
Nah this shit is extremely offensive and it goes to show what many say, these people only care about black people when they need our vote.
I am with this post.
Pete is garbo.
LOL, is this for real?
*googles*
Hahahahahahahaha
In all seriousness, stuff like this is why people were conspiratorial with Chinedu's account, because it sounds within the realm of possibility for Pete's campaign given their awful handling of their (lack of) AA support.
lol wtf
"When Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg touted support from African American comedian and actor Keegan-Michael Key last week, his campaign was forced just hours later to clarify that the actor had not officially endorsed the former South Bend mayor, telling reporters he only sought to "encourage early voting and voter registration."
Key appeared with Buttigieg on Saturday to drum up voter support at his Henderson, Nevada field office."
I say this as a Bernie supporter... Biden is looking better every day compared to the rest of these joker moderates.
Not sure why some people are defending him or making excuses as if it wasn't his fault.
If I was running for president, had historically low support amongst balck voters, a bad history of treating black constituents and then got caught (either deliberately or not) making up black supporters, you better believe it would never happen again once it came out.
To happen more than once just shows that this is their strategy and he is fully aware of it.

I was thinking of a doomsday scenario where he stays in til the better end specifically so he can be anointed as the nominee at a brokered convention despite doing terribly. It would be a pure evil undemocratic ratfuck but it's what I expect at this point.
This is why I don't get his fucking appeal. Dude is mad lying about everything!
Pete continuing to fail to understand that the strategy of "just lie" only really works when it's arcane-ass electoral shit like SDEs in Iowa and in fact does not work when it comes to real, living black Americans.
