We just left event on our own volition after being harrassed outside & inside. When you watch interviews we did with @PeteButtigieg supporters, they were pleasant and respectful. Toughest question I asked was what’s Pete’s top accomplishment in South Bend that draws you to him?
Pete Buttigieg owes my cameraman Jamal Jones an apology—his staffer put his hands on him and removed his press badge without saying a word to him. IMPORTANT: we had media credentials for the event and checked in at press desk.
For those who don’t know: after I went to South Bend for @StatusCoup and exposed that Pete’s SB police officers imitated KKK members while arresting a black man (and he stayed silent on it as his police chief lied about it)—they took us off his press list. medium.com/status-coup/ex…
