Henry Davis Jr. has repeatedly criticized presidential candidate Buttigieg's record on race and his management of the South Bend police.

Davis Jr. has been one of Buttigieg's harshest critics in South Bend, often attacking him over his record on race and his management of the city's police force. However, the councilman has faced his own controversy over remarks and votes he's taken against the LGBTQ community.

"Very unsettling how Kevin Spacey used coming out as gay to distract from a sexual assault allegation with a 14- year old. Gross conflation," the original tweet by journalist Brandon Pope said. Retweeting the post, Davis Jr. wrote:"I know a Mayor who has done the same thing. Ppl will use whatever they can to get the heat off of them. It doesn't work forever. #SouthBend"

He later said in 2014 that his"understanding of the diversity of family, partnerships and same sex equality has evolved." The councilman also voted in favor of a South Bend city council resolution that opposed Indiana's highly controversial proposed constitutional gay marriage ban.
