NEW: Mayor Buttigieg tells VaughnHillyard that the explosive interruption by a protestor in a Black Lives Matter shirt at a gathering of African American supporters in South Bend is an 'unfortunate' result of the political 'climate that we're in.'
Buttigieg was responding to a skirmish — caught on video — at which several African Americans who support his campaign were interrupted by a protester.
Sharon McBride, a black South Bend Common Council member, was speaking about why she backs Buttigieg, who has struggled to win over African American voters, when a man in the audience began shouting over her. "Where are the black leaders who don't have three-piece suits, leather jackets, and nice clothing?" yelled a man who was wearing a"Black Lives Matter" T-shirt.
"Who chose these people as black leaders?" said man asked. He then approached the front of the room, grabbed the microphone from McBride and shouted,"Who organized them?"An older woman in the crowd then stood up and raised her cane above her head and gestured toward the man in what appeared to be a threat to strike him before being subdued.
