'I don’t think I’ve ever been called a 'lying motherf—er' before.'
‘I don’t think I’ve ever been called a “lying motherf—er” before.’ Pete Buttigieg, as recounted by TheRoot.com’s senior writer Michael Harriot — who had called the candidate that a day earlier That’s Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., responding to an impactful essay published Monday on the website the Root, in which the 2020 presidential candidate was, in fact, called that. Right in the headline.

The two remained on the call for, by Harriot’s count, 18 minutes and 45 seconds. Mostly, said Harriot, Buttigieg “just wanted to listen.” So, it would seem from the published account, Harriot gave him a bit of an earful, noting, for one thing, that the 2011 remarks in question took place in an all-white-male conversation.
Buttigieg, at an event late Tuesday, said the conversation had been healthy — and that, what’s more, Harriot had been right to assail his remarks of eight years earlier. He’d been, Buttigieg said of himself, wrong. His comments did not, he insisted, reflect the totality of his feelings about race even then, in 2011, let alone now.
Buttigieg, NBC reported at midday Wednesday, has just committed to his first ad spend in South Carolina, where African-American voters make up nearly a third of the electorate and constitute a majority of participants in Democratic primaries and which follows only Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada on the primary calendar. His campaign commercials are to begin airing there on Tuesday.
