Buttigieg released an op-ed claiming more than 400 South Carolinians have endorsed his “Douglass Plan for Black America.” The three black politicians listed at the top of his press release, Columbia City Councilwoman Tameika Devine, Baptist pastor and state Rep. Ivory Thigpen, and Johnnie Cordero, chair of the South Carolina Black Caucus. Never endorsed the plan.  40 percent of the endorsement names listed were white people.

:''“There is one presidential candidate who has proven to have intentional policies designed to make a difference in the Black experience, and that’s Pete Buttigieg. We are over 400 South Carolinians, including business owners, pastors, community leaders, and students. Together, we endorse his Douglass Plan for Black America, the most comprehensive roadmap for tackling systemic racism offered by a 2020 presidential candidate,”''

the press release read.  ''The Intercept'' found none of these politicians endorsed Buttigieg, or his plan, which includes financial reparations for slavery more than a century after the fact and decriminalizing drugs.

Ivory Thigpen said he told the Buttigieg campaign he was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter and was not interested in endorsing Buttigieg or the Douglass plan.

{{quotebox|How it was rolled out was not an accurate representation of where I stand. I didn’t know about its rolling out. Somebody brought it to my attention, and it was alarming to me, because even though I had had conversations with the campaign, it was clear to me, or at least I thought I made it clear to them, that I was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter — actually co-chair of the state, and I was not seeking to endorse their candidate or the plan.}}

Johnnie Cordero told ''The Intercept'' he never endorsed the plan or Buttigieg.

Tameika Devine told The Intercept she has yet to endorse a presidential candidate and did not intend her curiosity of plan to be read as an endorsement for Buttigieg.  The nation [[mainstream media]], of course, ignored Buttigieg taking advantage of and taking for granted Blacks in South Carolina, in favor of Buttigieg's growing poll numbers in predominantly white [[Iowa]].<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2019/11/17/intercept-buttigieg-campaign-falsely-claimed-endorsements-from-black-south-carolina-leaders/</ref>

Buttigieg used a photo of a Kenyan woman in [[Kenya]] on the cover of the plan without her knowledge or consent. [[Ilhan Elmi Omar]], who supports [[Bernie Sanders]], struck back at Buttigie: “This is not ok or necessary,” Omar tweeted, linking to a tweet by ''The Intercept'' D.C. bureau chief Ryan Grim, who first highlighted the use of the photo, saying the unnamed woman had “reached out to me very confused.”  Grim wrote that the woman messaged him, “What's the meaning of the message accompanied by the photo?"<ref>https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/470893-ilhan-omar-calls-out-buttigieg-campaign-for-douglass-plan-stock-photo-not</ref>
