Buttigieg Refers To ‘Dark Money' As ‘Black Money' In Front Of African-American Crowd
2020-02-11
[The Federalist] During a campaign event in South Carolina, 2020 candidate Pete Buttigieg referred to "dark money" as "black money" when speaking to a room of African-American voters.

"I’m not a fan of the current campaign finance system, and the reality is, it’s not going to get better in all the ways we need it to get better without a constitutional reform. So, there’s things we can and should do right away, they can deal with black money ‐ sorry, dark money ‐" Buttigieg said, before the interviewer jumped in, saying, "African-American money."

"I’m always happy to take black money contributions into my campaign," Buttigieg said, trying to play off the awkward moment.
