A white man wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt swiped a microphone from a black city councilwoman Wednesday as she expressed support for South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
“Where are the black leaders who don’t have three-piece suits, leather jackets and nice clothing?” the man yelled at an Indiana event before repeatedly chanting, “This is a farce!”
He interrupted Sharon McBride, a black South Bend Common Council member, as she talked about the mayor.
White guy stealing the mic from black people he doesn't view as woke enough nicely captures the moment https://t.co/xcqh3Zni61
