On Monday, Pete Buttigieg, who has had a great deal of trouble galvanizing black voters to support him, ran into another roadblock as he joined striking workers protesting against McDonalds in Charleston, South Carolina for a $15 minimum wage. Buttigieg was accosted by roughly a dozen activists from Black Lives Matter chanting, “Pete can’t be our president, where was $15 in South Bend?”

Buttigieg had to shout through the chanting, according to The Daily Mail, calling, “You deserve a union and we stand with you. No matter who you support, I support you; we support you; we stand together and we will not rest until one job is enough in the United States of America.”
