LEMON DROP | The Brutal Truth Pete Buttigieg's Consultants Won’t Tell Him

25 Aug 2025

Description

Back in 2019, Pete Buttigieg was dubbed “Mayo Pete” by Black Twitter, a nickname born of skepticism about his authenticity and connection with Black voters. Six years later, despite his polish and rising profile, Buttigieg still hasn’t earned that trust, with recent polls showing zero percent Black support for a presidential run. Don breaks down why safe messaging, consultant polish, and chasing conservative podcasts won’t cut it, and why, without genuine connection in Black communities, “Mayo Pete” might end up being more than just a meme.
