Buttigieg bolts after he’s booed and shouted down at minimum-wage rally: ‘Pete can’t be our president!’
February 25, 2020 | Samantha Chang

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was booed and shouted down by protesters during a march with McDonald’s workers who were striking for a $15 minimum wage in Charleston, South Carolina.

The rally was organized by the nationwide Fight for $15 movement, but Buttigieg tried to hijack the event to make it a photo op to promote his flailing campaign.

Buttigieg awkwardly pandered to black voters by standing alongside black protesters.

“No matter who you support, I support you. We support you,” Buttigieg said. “We stand together and we will not rest until one job is enough in the United States of America.”

While the former South Bend mayor was speaking, he was booed and shouted down by Black Voters Matter protesters, who chanted: “Pete can’t be our president! Where was $15 in South Bend?”
