While the heckler carried on, Buttigieg told the crowd, “Don’t worry about it. We’re bigger than him.”

“Okay dude, but can I finish my remarks?” Buttigieg asked. “Are you afraid to hear what I have to say? Are you afraid to hear what I have to say? Are you afraid to hear what I have to say?”

“Do you denounce white supremacy?” Buttigieg asked the heckler, who apparently answered in the affirmative.

“Good!” Buttigieg yelled. “Then we agree on something. That’s a beginning point. See if you can get your president to do the same thing.”
