Buttigieg claims he was pressured by the U.S, Attorney's office to fire the chief or federal charges would be brought against Boykins. Boykins lawyer does not believe Buttigieg’s explanation and told the ''New York Times'' that he asked a friend in the U.S. Attorney’s office whether Buttigieg’s explanation added up. The U.S Attorney's office responded that Buttigieg's explanation "is so contrary to the protocols of U.S. Attorneys’ offices. We never would condition a determination on prosecuting or not prosecuting based on an employment decision."<ref>https://heavy.com/news/2019/04/darryl-boykins/</ref> Buttigieg's truth telling surrounding the events has been called into question.<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/06/26/pete-buttigieg-telling-truth-fired-towns-first-black-police-chief/</ref>

Buttigieg rejected calls for the resignation of the [[racist]] Democrat governor of Virginia [[Ralph Northam]]. Buttigieg said, {{quotebox|"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? That is one of the things that ultimately gets resolved in the conduct of a primary process."<ref>https://www.c-span.org/video/?457645-1/south-bend-mayor-pete-buttigieg-meets-iowa-voters</ref>}} Buttigieg's riff was a blatantly false statement. King was immediately removed by Republicans from all House committee assignments when King was quoted out of context by the ''New York Times'', whereas Rep. [[Ilhan Omar]] was never censored or disciplined for a recurring pattern of [[anti-Semitic]] statements. Buttigieg justified Gov. Northam remaining in office rather than resign to allow the [[Black]] Lieutenant Governor to assume office, suggesting Northam could primaried out in 2021.<ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/pete-buttigieg-claims-gop-tolerates-racist-behavior-and-sexual-assault</ref> Northam has since donated over $85,000 to fellow Democrats and remains in office.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/northam-pac-funnels-85000-to-democratic-candidates/</ref> A lawyer for Northam hosted a fundraiser for Buttigieg in June 2019.<ref>https://freebeacon.com/politics/northam-lawyer-to-host-buttigieg-fundraiser/</ref>
