This week, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg met with American civil rights activist and Baptist minister Al Sharpton for lunch in New York. They met to discuss “winning over the African-American community” and how to talk about Buttigieg’s sexuality with others.
Buttigieg is not the only Democratic candidate who has chosen to align himself closely to Sharpton. Beto O’Rourke, Andrew Yang, Julián Castro, John Delaney, Kamala Harris, John Hickenlooper, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer, and Eric Swalwell all appeared at the National Action Network (NAN) 2019 Convention. NAN is a non-profit organization founded by Sharpton.
