Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg met Monday with the Rev. Al Sharpton. Buttigieg said Sharpton suggested the meeting, which he says occurred as his campaign is “working to broaden our coalition.”

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and civil rights leader Al Sharpton at Sylvia's Restaurant in Harlem, N.Y.

“I've talked a lot about generational change and generational politics, and one of the things I know I needed to do is to be in touch with every generation in the struggle for equality,” Buttigieg said. The 37-year-old military veteran and Rhodes scholar has gained in popularity since joining the 2020 race this year.

“One thing I learned early in is having good intentions is not enough and that things don't look the same depending on your life experience. Policing to economic inclusion, just because you're trying generically to take care of everybody, doesn't mean that support will reach everybody in the same way,” he said.

Earlier this month, Buttigieg was among several Democratic presidential candidates who attended Sharpton's National Action Network conference in New York, where he was asked to explain his use of the phrase “all lives matter” in the early days of the Black Lives Matter movement. The mayor said he meant to show solidarity with the movement but stopped using the phrase when he realized it was antagonistic.

Tawana lied

Another box ticked by the management consultant: Meet with a black leader. ☑️

Buttigieg just realized a large part of the Dem voting base is African American.

Pete Buttigieg, a gay Christian, is driving the religious right nutsThe only Democrat talking at length about his faith in the 2020 primary also happens to be the only gay candidate in the race. And he's one of the few from a red state. zbyronwolf All religious people are nuts zbyronwolf CNN has to make up controversies for their poor ratings. zbyronwolf Because its largely incompatible. You cant ask to be forgiven for a sin you are going to continue to commit. It is what it is, the God of the bible clearly denounces homosexuality. So to be a gay-christian seems self contradictory.
