Buttigieg rejected calls for the resignation of the [[racist]] Democrat governor of Virginia [[Ralph Northam]].<ref>Buttigieg said, "I don’t mean to congratulate ourselves because we’ve got our issues to work through too, but I would point to the contrast between how the Democratic Party handled allegations of sexual mistreatment among people in our ranks … and what's going on on the other side of the aisle. Or when it comes to these disturbing racial relations. The difference between the conversation the Democratic Party is having about the governor of Virginia and the conversation, if any, that the Republican Party is having about people like [[Steve King]]. How much will we tolerate?" A blatantly false statement. King was removed from all House committee assignments after King was quoted out of context by mainstream news sources, whereas Rep. [[Ilhan Omar]] was never censored or disciplined for a recurring pattern of [[anti-Semitic]] statements. Buttigieg went on to say Northam could remain in office until he could primaried out in 2021.</ref>
