In early April, Buttigieg and other Democratic hopefuls spoke at Sharpton’s National Action Network annual conference.
When Pete Buttigieg asked Rev. Al Sharpton for advice on campaigning for president in the South’s Bible Belt as an openly gay white man, the civil rights leader responded, “I think you should say, ‘I am who I am.’”
Sharpton suggested Buttigieg put the black LGBT community “on the table,” particularly when the mayor returns to campaign in South Carolina next month. It was there that Buttigieg called for abolishing the death penalty and said he would sign a bill to commission a study on reparations for descendants of slaves.
“The problem I have is some people will just come find me,” Buttigieg continued. “They’ll come to my rally, they’ll rush to my event, they’ll be at my fundraiser. But if I’m only talking out to the people who come to me, it’s not going to become more diverse.”“I got to,” said Buttigieg.
