An African-American woman who says she was one of the supporters standing behind South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg during a recent speech claimed the campaign asked her three times “to move away from my friends” to be featured for the photo op.
The woman, Essenam Lamewona, claimed to be one of the women featured in the front row behind Buttigieg. She said on Twitter that her placement was due to “tokenism.”
