Anyone who defends bank discrimination and then blames the victims is not someone who should be representing our party. There is a lot to get to and we begin with our nbc news road warriors on the campaign trail for us across the states of nevada. Josh lederman is covering the Bloomberg Campaign. Vaughn hillyard, ali vitali and mike memoli. Let me start with you josh covering the Bloomberg Campaign. As we get closer to super tuesday thats where Mike Bloomberg is banking on making a break in this campaign so far. But he also is increasingly becoming a bigger target. What is the campaign saying about what has been the latest barrage of attacks . Well, the Mike Bloomberg campaign couldnt be happier about the fact that were all here talking about Mike Bloomberg. You know, Mike Bloomberg says that hes the antitrump but hes actually taking a few lessons directly out of the trump playbook. All press is good press. And when someone punches at you, you punch back twice as hard. And Bernie Sanders was detailing a new line of attack arguing that he would be unable to create the kind of energy within the Democratic Party needed to win against trump in november. Now, the Bloomberg Campaign pushing back early this morning on twitter saying we need to unite to defeat trump in november. This type of energy is not going to get us there. And the Bloomberg Campaign rolling out a new video on twitter complete with the kind of eerie, ominous music that would proceed a monster coming out of the water to eat you, but you have bernie bros coming out with attacks on fellow democrats. The Bloomberg Campaign using that today to argue that its sanders who would create such disunity in the party that it could risk the democrats chance in november. Let me bring in Vaughn Hillyard here. Its a busy day, vaughn, for Pete Buttigieg. He has three stops in nevada. One i believe in utah. What is the campaign saying about these remaining days until saturdays caucuses there . Big test for him to see if he can actually break through with some minority communities like the Africanamerican Community and the latino community. The campaign has maintained that they have to go one state at a time. You have to go and essentially pull off the win in iowa they did. You have to go into New Hampshire and have a good showing which they did. And now this is where the big issue is at play. Its nevada. And then 12 days from now you had South Carolina and super tuesday, but here nevada is crucial. He has three stops on the day, starting in reno before heading to carson city and then rural elko. When you look at this campaign here in this state, just about half of the democratic voting population is white and the other half communities of color which hes struggled throughout the entire year of his candidacy to attract these voters. What you heard from him over the course the weekend was some selfacknowledgment saying that politics has to be personal, not only to the politics. I want to read to you, i didnt always hear the voices of those talking about the story behind the story. I was making sure that we were crossing all the thes and dotting all the is. I dont have a way to measure the pain that was behind the relationship and particularly the black residents in our city. That is Pete Buttigieg trying to own up, be an empathetic voice and contend to the people here in nevada that he can represent all of the communities here in the state. All right, we cross over to ali vitali. Lets talk about the Warren Campaign. Some say it could be a do or die moment for her campaign. How is the Warren Campaign framing this final push to the nevada caucuses . Im not sure if theyre viewing nevada as to do or die, but certainly its important to their calculus. This is a campaign that has said whereas the Buttigieg Campaign is taking it state by state, the Warren Campaign has fanned out across the country, they have more than a thousand staffers in 31 states. Yes, do well in somewhere like nevada they hope to do well in the calendar in South Carolina. But theyre also looking to put that big operation into play once they hit the super tuesday states. At the same time, on the ground here in nevada, she is doing pretty well in the polls. Shes competitive at least in some of the latest numbers that we have been seeing. She is also looking to have a moment on the debate stage. If you think about what has really changed the face of this race, its the fact that Amy Klobuchar got on the debate stage and really made a name for herself. She was someone who was able to really push her name i. D. Up in the minds of voters and a lot of us are wondering as were in New Hampshire as the buzz and the money momentum can translate into success on the ground. Clearly Amy Klobuchar has shown thats something that can be done and wouldnt be surprised if other campaigns are trying to replicate that and Amy Klobuchar is trying to build some momentum on the ground. Shes out with her first ad in spanish. This is the most diverse state to vote. Not only does Pete Buttigieg have to show he can compete among minority communities but people like Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren and joe biden who have shown they can do well among those group of voters. A lot in play on the ground here in nevada and the thing that could change it all is if Michael Bloomberg does end up on that debate stage you started this segment by saying theres a lot of bashing of bloomberg. Its a reexamination of his record. A lot of the other candidates were being vetted and pushed on the issues and the records and then he got in. This is a time now where it might be a shorter calendar for Michael Bloomberg but all of this kind of vetting that he hasnt had to go through yet will happen even if he doesnt get on the debate stage. Clearly were watching it play out among the other competitors. If he does get on the debate stage hes one poll away from 24 hours and that could be a game changer as well. Ali vitali, checking off the elizabeth Warren Campaign and a quick check of the Amy Klobuchar campaign as well for us. Mike memoli, following the biden campaign. He has a Campaign Stop later on today. I have to be quite honest, a bit of a disappointment in his showings in iowa and New Hampshire. A lot of people see it that way, especially since he was the favored frontrunner. Talk about what theyre trying to do to resuscitate his campaign. Yeah, ayman, some of his former supporters are trying to get the biden bounce back trending online. We have talked all campaign about how South Carolina is the biden firewall. We have seen an investment of time and resources in nevada. One is we have seen some attrition in bidens support in South Carolina. Tom steyer has been eating away at his early advantage there and feel a first or a second place showing here will go a long towards shoring up that firewall in South Carolina. Secondly, he needs to do well here to generate the infusion of momentum and cash that is going to sustain his campaign. Not just ahead in South Carolina but super tuesday especially when this less of a ground war and more of an air war. They need really an injection of money we saw biden fundraising here in nevada last night to put the ads on in the super tuesday states. Third, we started the whole segment here, Mike Bloomberg. Joe biden who was the frontrunner cant get it i dont, im out here waiting in the wings when he stumbles through the first four contests. So they know they need to pit up a big win here. The reason they feel strong ear nevada, one organized labor is probably the most important bloc here. Hes shown a lot here. Vine the culinary. He touted the endorsement from the governor here. Thanks to the amazing road warriors out there. Thank you, guys. And coming up just how secure are the nevada caucuses . Im going to talk to one lawmaker about what the state is doing to prevent a mess like the one we saw in iowa. Plus, attorney general bill barr in the line of fire more than 1,000 former prosecutors and other doj officials publicly calling on him to resign. Well tell you why next. Daughter get in fred even if it means being the back half of a unicorn. Fear not fred the front half washed his shirt with gain detergent. Thats the scent that puts the giddy in giddy up ahhh. The irresistible scent of gain. For a scent with even more giddy up, try gain scent blast in detergent, fabric softener and scent beads. But when i started seeing i knew aboutthings,emors. I didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. That sofa on tv is iexactly what they need. And now, they know it too. Thats the power of targeted tv advertising. Its smart. It grabs peoples attention. Then they come to my store. Buy that sofa. And leave happy its easy, and its effective. And its why Comcast Spotlight is changing its name to effectv. Because being effective means getting results. This morning, new calls for the u. S. Attorney general to step done. More than a thousand officials have signed on to the open letter saying barr should resign for intervening in the case against roger stone. Last year, the department of justice lowered the prison recommend eights for stone. Those actions and the damage they have done to the department of justices reputation for integrity and the rule of law require mr. Barr to resign. The doj is declining to comment this morning but Officials Say the attorney general does intend to testify before Congress Next month as scheduled. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell is live at the white house. Walk us through the sentiment, seeing the 1,100 former doj officials i should emphasize calling on the attorney general to resign. Well, certainly the pushback from the white house has been that they argue that the attorney general has said that he and the president did not directly discuss the roger stone case and that no requests for any kind of interference influence or involvement took place. The president through his tweeting and his public statements makes his views on these things so well known that the attorney general would certainly know where the president falls on this without a specific conversation. Thats what has pushed so many of these former officials to say they believe this is the kind of interference that erodes how the public views the work of the department of justice, their integrity and their fairness. One of the thing theyre calling on federal workers to do, employed by the department of justice or across the federal government is to push back and refuse to carry out any orders that they consider to be illegal or improper, to report that and if necessary to resign and make public where appropriate the concerns that they have. They say that they need that kind of involvement and activism if you will from employees because they dont expect that bill barr will resign his post. Given his closeness to the president , its an Election Year and he and the president both said they have not acted improperly. They do think this is days where theres a lot of politics in the environment. Theyre pushing back firm and well have to see how it goes when roger stone is actually given his sentence for those seven counts of lying to congress and witness tampering. Ayman . Kelly odonnell, live at the white house, thank you. With me now glenn kirschner, now an msnbc legal analyst. One of the best minds in the business. Great to have you with us. Let me get your thoughts as a former doj official yourself. Would you be willing to add your name to the letter i apologize, i havent gone through the 1,100 names but do you agree with the sentiments expressed it . I agree with the sentiments and that bill barr must resign if we are to preserve the integrity of the department of justice of and restore the publics confidence in the department of justice. You know, when you look at what bill barr has done, a quick recap he has disqualified himself as a honest broker of the law and it started with his confirmation hearing when asked if the white house or the president had directed that he should own investigations into anybody, at first he pretended to struggle with the word suggested and then he said, i dont know. Im sorry thats not a perjury proof answer. If you do know, and you say you dont know that is perjury. Its false statement to congress. Then we have seen he misrepresented the mueller investigation. He is trying to unravel the origins of the russian investigation. He has given an unbelievable, unwarranted, unjust break in sentencing to roger stone and ami Berman Jackson is going to have something to say about that both tomorrow in a Conference Call and thursday at roger stones sentencing. Now we have heard hes appointed another prosecutor to try to undo the mike flynn guilty plea. He has disqualified himself over and over and over again. And that is why more than 1,000 former federal prosecutors have said you must resign. Give me a sense and by virtue of your past position im still you have a pulse of what its like internally at the department of justice right now. What are you hearing about morale at the doj . I think morale was at a low point. I was at the department for 24 of my 30 year as a federal prosecutor and i have countless friends and former colleagues who are there and they are not so quietly talking about not not publicly mind you, but they are talking about how, you know, they may be called upon one day to work a particular case. And then if somebody doesnt like the outcome if they have followed the facts to a just result and it happens to not comport with one of President Trumps friends or acolytes or associates and what the president and bill barr thinks should happen, they could see themselves on the chopping block. They could see themselves the subject of an angry berating president ial tweet. And then, you know, they and their family could actually literally be in harms way. We have seen what happened to the whistleblower, we have seen what have seen happened to the four career apolitical prosecutors who followed a perfect sentencing memo in the stone case, saying the guidelines call for seven to nine years. John kravis, a former colleague of mine in the homicide section had to actually not only withdraw from the case but resign from the federal government. This, you know, department of justice is being dismantled by the president and by barr. Thank you very much. I appreciate your insights as always. Up next, early voting going on in nevada and democrats in the state are unveiling new measures to prevent a repeat of the problems we have seen in iowa but are they enough to keep the votes safe . Im your mother in law. And i like to question your every move. Like this left turn. Its the next one. You always drive this slow . How did you make someone i love .

Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood. Nevada caucus volunteers are sounding the alarm about another potential day meltdown. Theres also massive turnout and early voting continues today after last minute changes to prevent iowas chaos. But according to politico, volunteers are saying that they have received insufficient training as well as some confusing instructions. In fact, they describe Unanswered Questions about internet security. One of them predicting caucus day will be a quote complete disaster. Joining me is dina titus of nevada and she endorsed joe biden in the primary case. Great to have you with us. First of all, let me get your thoughts about your concerns. What is your biggest concern as you hear some of these reports that we just laid out there from politico and others. What have you been hearing about issues like this first hand . Well, i have been visiting a number of the early voting sites and what struck me is how many people are there. They have had to stand in line for an hour or so but they dont seem to mind because so much is sat is at stake. We added the early voting days to allow more people to be involved, greater accessibility and i think its worth it if we have to do two steps to count it. I think it will be fine. There will be naysayers but we know all eyes reason onevada and were trying to be number one instead of number three. Are you confident that the state of nevada can pull this off . Well, the party has done several things since i expressed some concern. And they have had meetings with the campaigns. They have gotten more people involved. And theyre not using the app that iowa used. In some centers where people are early voting theyre just using paper and pencil and sometimes the Old Fashioned why might be the best way. Lets get your thoughts on the early enthusiasm of the voters. Saturday, the first day for early voting. More than 18,000 democrats participated. To put that in perspective in 2016 about 84,000 participated in total throughout the entire primary process. What does that tell you . Well, two things. People in nevada like to vote early and in any general election about 65 get it in the bank and dont have to worry about the election day so its a reflection of that. A lot of seniors like to early vote too and we have people working strange shifts so its convenient for them. But another thing it tells me is how enthusiastic democrats are in nevada, how much they want to get rid of this president how they think hes not been good for this country or the state and its time for him to go. Theres some analysis out there that that kind of enthusiasm favors a Bernie Sanders type of campaign. Youre a joe biden supporter. How well do you think he needs to do in this caucus to move he still has a shot at winning the nomination . I think hes going to do very well here in nevada because we are more like the face of the nation. He puts together a Broad Coalition and that is certainly what perfect here. I have one of the most diverse districts in the state and in the country. The large hispanic population, fast growing Asian Pacific population, a lot of senior retirees, strong labor union and thats the kind of coalition that biden attracts and those people are turning out and working for him and hell do well here. Why do you think hes not had the kind of traction youre like to see him have in nevada in the other states . What is it about his campaign that seems to be puttering around . Well, he knew he wouldnt take nevada and iowa because its more white and he got a standing ovation yesterday. The infrastructure town hall. He brought the house down at the first of the west caucus din er. I toured him with in one of the casinos where the culinary workers are. They know hes ready to start on day one. Hes got the intellect. Hes got the experience. Hes got the compassion so hes doing well here. All right. Congresswoman dina titus. Thank you. Lets bring in the Communications Director for the Harris Campaign and rick tyler, msnbc political analyst. Lilly, let me begin with you. A new poll from the Las Vegas Reviewjournal actually has Bernie Sanders in first place at 25 . A considerable lead, about seven points ahead of joe biden at 18. Warren at 13. Are those positions at this point in the race a make or break moment for lets say the campaigns of a joe biden or Elizabeth Warren . Do they have to be in the top three to say in the game post nevada . Yeah, i think they all have to do very well in nevada to get that boost towards South Carolina and super tuesday and a lot of votes are already voting for super tuesday. So its not just about nevada and South Carolina, but also looking to march. So i think youre right. I think its Bernie Sanders is to lose. The nevada caucus and the question is who takes the number two spot. Rick, do you think the early voting numbers we are seeing in nevada so far favor one canada over the other . As i was saying in the question to congresswoman, by some of the early analysis there was a conventional thinking that enthusiasm or energy among voters in early states tends to favor Bernie Sanders. That may not necessarily be the case though. Well, im not ayman, im not sure what the this years numbers in relation to the other i didnt look up that number before we got on. But look, i think the congresswoman put a great face on nevada but this is a real problem. You have to remember that nevada had planned to use the same software that iowa did, now theyre not. Now they have to retool a lot of democrats are very concerned and coming out that they have not been able to use the actual they dont want to call it an application but its still software, the calculator, they have not been trained on the calculator. And remember, when you vote early, you have five choices but you have no way of knowing because theres a 15 threshold whether your second choice or third choice or fourth choice which candidate you actually voted for. And those numbers had to be rolled in remember to the actual caucuses that people are showing up at at the correct locations. I think we hope it goes well, but every democrat not just in nevada should be holding their breath. Lilly, im curious to get your thoughts about your former boss. So Amy Klobuchar has reported shes raised more than 12 million since the New Hampshire debate, more than she raised in the entire Fourth Quarter all together. When you see the moment shes having i guess in the spotlight going into nevada do you think that senator Kamala Harris dropped out too soon . Well, every candidate who has dropped out mostly had the same rationale which is they cant raise the funds to continue forward and thats just you know, sort of pencil and paper and math. So you cant really go back and undo that. But i think what you do see is that some of the these candidates like Amy Klobuchar, i thank you Elizabeth Warren was touting some of her fundraising numbers are well, they can kind of maximize the debate moments and turn them into hopefully resources to build a National Campaign which is what you need going into super tuesday. So do you think from your experience on that campaign that maybe the system should be modified so somebody like a senator harris can stay longer in the race and not be so depend department on that kind of fundraising dollars to give voters a chance when they get engaged to hear all of the candidates . Look, i think theres no question that these primaries are too long and too expensive. I think at the end of this whole process once all is said and done, democrats will have some hard questions to answer about why historically diverse field of candidates has winnowed to all white candidates and many male candidates. But thats a conversation for the end of the process and whether we need to retool calendar and things like that. Certainly a very important conversation to be have. Rick, let me get your thoughts on this. You have different people stepping up their attacks on Mike Bloomberg. Not just the president but even the democratic field. You know, hes not even on the ballot in nevada. Is that the because they see him as a serious threat . Are they underestimating, you know, the threat that somebody like Bernie Sanders could pose and focusing on Mike Bloomberg because he has the dollars . Well, look, im not sure why the Democratic Party wants to replace an ideological confused misogynistic blow hard from new york with another. But look, hes made a big bet and he may end up if his goal was to keep Bernie Sanders from getting the nomination he may actually be helping Bernie Sanders to get the nomination. Well see all that on super tuesday. But look, Amy Klobuchar placed fifth in iowa. But we didnt know that until later. So when we dont get the results in the same night it just distorts the entire race. Because everybody who might have dropped out in iowa went on to New Hampshire. She had a great debate. And she was able to raise that money. But had we had the results on the very night of iowa, the momentum and the expectations might have been totally different going into New Hampshire. We need to get the elections right. Some would argue you need to change the order of some of the early voting states to have a more reflective absolutely. Absolutely. Primary to have a better sense of the other candidates. Always a pleasure. A reminder, my colleagues lester holt, chuck todd, hallie jackson, telemundos vanessa huac and jon ralston will all be moderating, wednesday night, 9 00 p. M. On msnbc and nbc. The u. S. And the taliban take the first steps toward a peace deal. A key member joins me next. But first 14 americans among the hundreds evacuated from the quarantined cruise ship have now tested positive for the coronavirus. More than 300 u. S. Citizens and the family members have arrived back at the military base. No one who tested positive for the virus would be allowed on the repatriation flights but the passengers were on their way to the airport when word arrived that 14 passengers in the group had tested positive for the virus. The evacuees will be placed under mandatory quarantine in the u. S. If youre 55 and up, tmobile has a plan designed just for you. And, for a limited time only, were making it an even better deal.

So if youre 55 and up, you can now get two lines for only 55. Because at tmobile, we have a plan designed just for you. President trump is reportedly setting his sights on a new target according to axios as part of his quote revenge tour. The president is hoping to win back the house for the gop come november. Already ironing out travel plans with House Republican leader kevin mccarthy. The 30 democratic seats in districts that he won in 2016 are the biggest focus and as axios reminds us if trump wins reelection and republicans are able to hold the senate and take back the house, trump will essentially have free rein to do whatever he wants in the second term. Joining us is who the congressman who serves on the Oversight Committee. Thank you, ayman. Lets talk about the 2018 playbook lessons that could be applied in 2020 are. Is this a whole different ball game or are there some things that you have taken from 2018 to apply to 2020 . I think theres a lot of dissatisfaction with President Trump. Those 30 trump districts where democrats currently represent the constituents. I think focusing on some of those key Kitchen Table topics such as making sure that we lower the price of prescription drugs and health care in general, cleaning up the corruption is that unfortunately has engulfed the Trump Administration. Then making sure that we prepare americans for good paying jobs and the economy of the future are all topics that democrats tend to do very well in. We should focus on those. So do you think that the candidates running in 2020 president ial as well as congress, the senate, have to do a better job or a different job in terms of pushing issues and policy specific topics or is it all about as Mike Bloomberg says defeating trump . I think that we have to obviously have a positive vision. Even at the same time that we contrast ourselves with President Trump. So for instance when we talk about our plan to lower prescription drugs, making sure that the government can negotiate the price of prescription drugs for Medicare Part d as well as a number of drugs that even are used by in the private sector market, thats something that goes over well. So we should focus on topics like that. As well as universal background checks, hr8 and other measures which are very popular. Lets talk about the president s socalled revenge tour where hes propping up or at least appearing to interfere in some of the cases involving his allies and at the same time, going after some of his enemies. I want to ask you about the attorney general, bill barr, in all of this what how hes handled the roger stone sentencing recommendation issue. Hes scheduled to testify next month. Should he be called to appear before the Oversight Committee and if so what do you want to hear from him . I dont want to get in front of chairwoman moloney on this, but when he comes before Congress Next month hell be asked a lot of questions about the roger stone sentencing and also his plan to put almost a second line of prosecutors, micromanaging or questioning the decisions of front line prosecutors in the Michael Flynn case. Why he set up a secret or a back channel or corridor for receiving Rudy Giulianis investigation information about joe biden and hunter biden and so forth. I think the general gist of the sentiment that im hearing is, you know, attorney general barr appears to be politicizing the department of justice and thats a grave danger to our system of system. Let me switch gears for a moment and get your thoughts on some developments overseas. There are reports that are there peace talks with the taliban that are going to produce some kind of result. The taliban leaders have agreed to sign a peace deal by the end of the month. A key step in what could lead to the ultimate withdrawal of u. S. Troops in afghanistan. Where do you stand on this deal . It all depends. Is it going to be a hasty retreat similar to what the Trump Administration staged in Northern Syria where we may be endangering our National Security because of it or is it a well thought out plan that basically leaves us in a better place than where we started . I think americans want to withdraw from afghanistan. Enough is enough, but on the other hand, you know one of the key sticking points in the negotiations from what i understand is that, you know, it has the has the taliban decided to sever the ties from terrorists and violent extremist groups or will it remain affiliated with them and will afghanistan be a launching pad for terrorist strikes in the future, similar to what happened in 2001 with osama bin laden. I think those are the key questions right now. Finally, sir, before you go, early voting already starting in the state. In some parts of illinois. Although the primary is still a month away, are you ready to make an endorsement . If so, do you want to share it with us . Yes, i endorse myself, im up for reelection in the same primary. With regard to the president ial contest i have no plans for endorsing and at this point, im fully prepared to support whoever the nominee is. In the democratic that person will be a huge improvement over President Trump. All right, congressman, if you decide to change your mind, you have a standing invite to share that endorsement with us. Good luck to you, congressman krishnamoorthi of illinois. A pleasure.

All right. So that was president ial candidate Pete Buttigieg making his pitch at a sunday bruin. Hosted by nevadas black legislative caucus. Hes riding high on the momentum out of New Hampshire and iowa and now contests in South Carolina and nevada is coming up next. Hes facing the first test with high populations of minority voters. Joini joining me right now is jay a. Moore. He is now a surrogate for the Buttigieg Campaign. Lets dig into the become ground of where he stands nationally. You have buttigieg 4 support among black democratic voters. Do you think hes doingsupport . Is there a way he wins this nomination without the support of minority communities . Thank you so much for having me this morning. Its been a pleasure. I just left an event with the reverend al sharpton. I think to answer your question quite honestly, yes. He earned my support. I think what you do and what hes been doing is listening to people and drive his agenda. I think he has to have a Diverse Coalition of folks to win the nomination, but hes doing the difficult work, listening to people and responding to them. I can tell you that firsthand. Even before i endorsed, when i was still kind of riding straddling the fence of who i was going to endorse after kamala suspended her campaign, his campaign was very receptive to constructive criticism and advice throughout the whole process. You said some hard work. What is some of the hard work hes been doing on the ground besides listening to the concerns . What has he offered to address . What are the issues you want to see him be zeroed in on . Well, if you look at his douglas plan, he has the most comprehensive plan directly for africanamericans, especially as it relates to health care, as it relates to housing. What he realizes, that you have to make very detailed and intentional plans in order to address the systemic issue of racism in this country. I know buttigieg was all set to skip a rally in South Carolina last month, commemorating Martin Luther king jr. Until you intervened. The campaign listened to you and he did attend the event. Does the campaign have learning to do and how are you advising to earn voters of color. He wasnt skipping the event. He had made previous plans for commemoration in south bend for Martin Luther king. The only thing i did was i encouraged the campaign that i thought it was important for him to be there and for him to listen to the people of South Carolina. So he wasnt skipping it. Lets make sure were clear on the record on that. No. Fair enough. Valid point. Let me get your thoughts about congressman jim clyburn of South Carolina. He has said that buttigiegs sexuality is, quote, generational for africanamerican voters. What are your thoughts on how sexuality plays into the race for africanamerican voters in the state of South Carolina and beyond . Well, let me say this. I have tremendous respect for congressman clyburn. I consider him a personal friend. Him and my father were very, very close friends. His grandson is actually working on the campaign. Were excited to have walter be a part of the campaign. What we have in mayor Pete Buttigieg is new generational leadership. Were electing a person to be president. At the end of the day, thats the most important thing. I have a 6monthold daughter. Whats important to me is we have more access to clean water, that we have more access to affordable housing, that we stop predator lending practices, that we build up this country and restore some grace and dignity to the office of president. I know for a fact that Pete Buttigieg can do that. South carolina representative j. A. Moore, thank you for your time this morning. Appreciate it. Thank you, so much for havi me.
