Cory Booker responds to Mike Bloomberg’s “well-spoken” comments, assures there is “no beef” between friends

Cory Booker recently responded to fellow presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg‘s, “well-spoken,” comment, acknowledging the possible racial undertones, while assuring folks that there is “no beef,” between the two friends.

“It’s not up to me to be his teacher on this issue. It’s not enough to say, ‘I’m not a racist.’ If racism exists, you need to be an anti-racist. You need to be working every day on these issues,” Booker  told ABC News‘ Rachel Scott in an interview on Friday.

He continued, “Whoever is our nominee should not have to be explained to about why comments like that could be found to be offensive to a very important part of our constituency.”

The exchange between the New Jersey senator and former New York mayor comes a little less than two weeks into Bloomberg’s entry into the 2020 presidential race.

It all started when Bloomberg was asked about the scarcity in diversity, as it pertains to the current Democratic candidates, to which Bloomberg revealed that he and pal Booker actually endorsed each other on more than one occasion.

“He’s very well-spoken,” Bloomberg said of Booker, during a sit-down with CBS This Morning. He added, “He’s got some good ideas.”

Bloomberg than continued to boast about Booker.

“I can just tell you, he is a friend of mine and he is a Rhodes Scholar, which is much more impressive than my academic background. I envy him. And he can certainly speak for himself.”

Booker later told ABC News that Bloomberg has since reached out to him, following the seemingly controversial comments, and that he still considers the fellow presidential hopeful a “friend,” adding that there is “no beef,” between the two.

“We all say things we shouldn’t, but this is something our eventual nominee should know. If they don’t it is going to hurt them in our ability to win,” Booker stated, while touching on the importance of  having Democratic leaders who “can authentically connect” to the Black community.

Pete Buttigieg responds to alleged “Black Lives Matter” supporter crashing Black rally in support of his campaign

Democratic presidential candidate, Peter “Pete” Buttigieg, recently responded to a protestor who interrupted a gathering in South Bend, Indiana, consisting primarily of Black supporters in support of Buttigieg.

It all started on Wednesday, December 4, when a protestor sporting a “Black Lives Matter,” shirt, stole the attention from South Bend Common Council Member, Sharon McBride. McBride, a Black woman, was in the middle of expressing her support for Buttigieg, who is currently struggling to win over Black voters, and is far less popular in the AA community than that of fellow presidential candidate and Democratic rival, Joe Biden.

During McBride’s speech, a man interrupted her, demanding to know “Where are the Black leaders?”

“Who chose these people as black leaders? Who organized them?” the man shouted, before grabbing the mic from McBride.

“We have a police crisis in this town,” the unknown man said. “Why are we talking about Pete Buttigieg?”

The event crasher’s action was soon followed by commotion, including several patrons trying to remove him from the scene, as well as an older woman with a cane having to be restrained from hitting the outsider. Upon being escorted from the scene, the protestor shouted, “This is a farce,” to which several other people joined in on the chant.

A man in a “Black Lives Matter South Bend” shirt stole the microphone at event for African American supporters of Mayor Pete Buttigieg Wednesday. The man took the mic from Sharon McBride, a city council member, who is black. The man who interrupted her is not. The protest has added new fuel to an already heated conversation about the Democratic presidential candidate’s tenuous relationship with African Americans, from low polling numbers among black voters to a contested record at home in Indiana. This time, however, the incident involved an unusual role reversal: Where black residents of South Bend had once confronted their white mayor, here was a black woman standing up for him and getting heckled herself — in an exchange that she labeled “a form of bigotry."

A post shared by The Washington Post (@washingtonpost) on

 

The following day, Buttigieg addressed the situation. In a statement to NBC news, the South Bend mayor stated deemed the incident “unfortunate.”

“It shows kind of where politics has come to, especially for somebody to interrupt an African American woman who was speaking about her truth and in her experience,” Buttigieg started.

He continued, “But this is the climate that we’re in and we need to continue making sure that everyone is empowered to speak their truth, their experience, and in particular, when it comes to South Bend’s story,” he added.

Buttigieg was not present at the scene of the incident.
