BootyFudge was heckled, booed and had to flee a South Carolina minimum wage rally; this rally was made up of the Democrat's voting base. Apparently Mayor Pete is polling ZERO with black primary voters. The embedded video is in my response below.

Buttigieg bolts after he’s booed and shouted down at minimum-wage rally: ‘Pete can’t be our president!’

February 25, 2020



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?”

A frustrated Buttigieg cut his speech short after five minutes and quickly tried to exit the rally.

The protesters from Black Voters Matter followed Buttigieg as he tried to make his escape to his SUV. They repeatedly chanted: “Pete can’t be our president! Where was $15 in South Bend?”

The Black Voters Matter protesters also shouted questions at Buttigieg, pointing out that he didn’t always support a $15-an-hour minimum wage.

This latest fiasco underscores the continuing struggle Pete Buttigieg is having in connecting to black voters. Despite nonstop pandering, Mayor Pete is polling at 0% among black primary voters.

No Democrat can win the presidential nomination without the support of black voters, especially in South Carolina, where blacks comprise up to two-thirds of the Democratic primary electorate.

The South Carolina primary election is on Saturday (Feb. 29), so time is running out for Buttigieg.

Two weeks ago, Buttigieg was confronted about the dismal race relations in South Bend under his tenure as mayor from 2012 to Jan. 1, 2020.

Fox News anchor Ed Henry asked Buttigieg why he continues to slam President Trump as racist, considering the tremendous strides Trump has made to help black Americans.

Specifically, Henry pointed to the criminal-justice reform that Trump initiated and the record-low unemployment among black Americans.

Henry also noted that Buttigieg has repeatedly been accused of racism toward African-Americans himself.

Henry asked: “Are you the right messenger to question the President on race when as mayor of South Bend, black leaders were quite critical of what you did, particularly in terms of police-involved shootings and other matters? Why are you questioning the President [and disregarding your own failures]?”

Buttigieg has also come under fire from his fellow Democrats. At last week’s debate, Senator Amy Klobuchar and former Vice President Joe Biden both spotlighted Buttigieg’s dismal lack of national political experience.

Klobuchar was annoyed that Buttigieg is promoting the laughable narrative that he’s the cool, new upstart who’s going to revolutionize Washington when in reality, he’s the obscure former mayor of a small town with a population of just 100,000.

Joe Biden echoed Klobuchar’s sentiments when he quipped: “He’s a mayor of a small city who has done some good things but has not demonstrated his ability.”

They have to be volunteers. I don't think SS applies until someone is major party nominee, or at least appears close to landing nominee status.

Yeah, that was all in the fine print....

4 workers at min wage of $8-10, to 1 worker at $15 is a win for the company.

What happens if the $15 minimum wage were passed and McDonald's (and other similar restaurants) just go to self-serve kiosks?

If? It is already happening - all the ones around here are getting the kiosks as part of regular renovations.

Around here it is 4 flat panel kiosks (2 with panels / Credit Card readers on each side, making 4 screens to order rom) with 1-2 regular registers up front, with only 1 having anyone present who also helps hand out ordered food. The rest of the staff is making food or handing it out.

Same at Panera Bread for the past year. They used to hav 2-3 people taking orders, now it is one and 4-6 kiosks.

Reminds me of the 2008 election cycle, Prop 8 in CA (anti gay marriage state amendment) passed and was overwhelmingly supported by blacks by a huge margin. This guy is seriously delusional to think he can swing the black vote.

All McDonalds are going Kiosk only.

The ones here the people working WILL NOT even take your order.
At one location the manager would not even speak to me.

Anyone else getting that Astro-turf vibe off mayor Pete? The guy just feels so fake and manufactured. Groomed, if you will. Like Obama. Zero experience, but “checks all the right boxes,” intersectionally speaking.
