Mayor Pete Buttigieg, often referred to on social media as #MayoPete, was in Sacramento, Calif., trying to convince voters that not only are Americans experiencing the pain of the Trump administration, but no group is experiencing it more than black Americans and Americans of color — none of whom appeared to have shown up at his rally.

Yeah, that record-low unemployment is a killer.

Overall black likely voter approval of President Trump: 43 percent. That’s way better than Buttigieg is doing with the black community.

Not one person of color in the crowd. They are out enjoying their Saturday spending all the newfound money they made over the last three years. — bigalpo (@bigalpo1) February 15, 2020

Will the black community fall for this again? I mean, it has been the same old scare tactics for every single election, combined with promises which were never going to be fulfilled. What about these Democrats is different….. Nothing — David Williams (@DavidWi50500742) February 15, 2020

I guess if people consider having to get up each morning and go to work at their newly acquired job after 8 years of unemployment a real pain, then he’s right. — Greg B ? (@GBPtbo) February 16, 2020

Checks schedule: today is POC ass kissing day? — Hooftywatcher (@theFinFred) February 15, 2020

Buttigieg is going to have to pander a lot harder than that to win back some of the black vote from Joe “Put Y’all Back in Chains” Biden.
