    Instead of discussing presidential politics, Donald Trump or polling numbers, we asked @PeteButtigieg about the decisions he made as mayor that affected racial disparities in South Bend's economics, education and criminal justice: https://trib.al/sgyKUcb pic.twitter.com/weRuuek02p

        @michaelharriot rightfully didn't pull any punches. One of the best interviews I've seen this cycle on Race. Quite frankly id love to see him interview all the top tier candidates ☘️

        Glad Michael sat down with him, but Pete's ALWAYS talked about systemic racism and its detrimental effect on America. It's not due to the mischaracterized video or his vitriolic ranting.pic.twitter.com/3BGU34qi1E

        This is a great interview. It's great to have an interviewer who will not only ask #PeteButtigieg tough questions but also give him a chance to honestly answer. Michael Harriot should be a debate moderator.

        Listen, no one here is trying to say Pete is perfect. But I’m really proud to support a candidate who is open to listening, open to discussion and open to criticism. Thank you @michaelharriot for giving Pete the opportunity to talk to you. I really enjoyed this interview. 💙💛💙
