Way back when, mayor Pete's reform-minded chief of police, Daryl Boykins, recorded some of his officers making vile racist statements. So Buttigieg fired... the police chief.🤡

Boykins was the 1st Black police chief in city history, and was building trust with Black folk.

But it gets worse...

It’s actually not a problem.

The anti-semites are almost all white evangelicals who are already in the bag for the GOP. They are easily outnumbered by a fully energized base that wants to vote for pluralistic multiracial secular democracy.

There are two groups that are reliable voters for that and the math needs both of them to be energized in the swing states. One of them is black people. The other is white non-religious people. Biden won because he had both behind him. In the swing states.

Keep running these candidates that black people and white non-religious people don’t support, and you keep losing.

I just searched on Qwant as well. The search term I used was:
"Buttigieg boykins tapes"

This is the first link:

Judge rules for officers in South Bend Police Tapes Case

After a 14-year legal fight between the South Bend Common Council, city administration and a group of officers, St. Joseph Superior Judge Jamie Woods on Thursday ruled the city must destroy the recordings of officers, some of the allegedly saying racially offensive things, because they were made without the officers' consent, in violation of the Indiana and federal wiretap acts.

I've been looking for corroboration of what you say. But I'm struggling to find any. Probably just searching on the wrong words in the wrong search engine.
I recognize you don't owe us anything but I'd really like to read evidence of this if you have any links.

Handing the american psycho party(*) the win because they are as disconnected from the people as the current president from reality.

(*) using that term just because it sounds cool. I know its a thing, but i dont know/remember the subtext.

He was never going to win NH and Iowa, but who cares? (I'm not just saying that because I'm in MA.) Biden was ALWAYS going to clinch it in SC (and people who attacked Black voters for not being "progressive" enough to choose Bernie missed the entire point).

Anyone who thought Buttigieg had legs were delusional or *really* liked his aw, shucks act.
