.@PeteButtigieg, in Q&A, talks about party unity/supporting the nominee: “Us candidates need to make sure our supporters are focused on that too ... Every place I’ve been to, we’ve had healthy, respectful conversations among different camps. Uh, online can be a little weird” pic.twitter.com/UquIStZk8b

Speaking in West Des Moines, Pete Buttigieg talks patriotism, says it's "not being honored by the decision to overthrow military justice and pardon war criminals, as if there’s no difference between a war criminal and an honorable service member in the United States of America." pic.twitter.com/uwyf859Zax

Pete Buttigieg drew a bigger crowd in Des Moines area tonight than Elizabeth Warren, who got several hundred this afternoon.
— Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) December 29, 2019
Dozens began leaving ~45 minutes into Warren’s hour-and-16-minute speech/Q&A; one person told me she was leaving to drive across town to see Buttigieg. https://t.co/qFfVMxzKhs
.@PeteButtigieg starts off saying there were some interesting things on TV today but that he won’t talk any more about that (Notre Dame soundly defeated ISU today) pic.twitter.com/stHwcNwNtt

MARSHALTOWN, IA
Marshaltown is in a rural county that went Obama -> Trump.
As the year comes to a close, I asked Pete Buttigieg what the biggest lesson he’s learned in 2019 has been. Buttigieg said he learned “just how hard you got to work for every vote.” He called 2019 the “prologue,” and says the next few weeks in Iowa will be crucial. #IACaucus pic.twitter.com/BnDKR7yTRt

During the Q&A Buttigieg was asked about his support for a commission to explore reparations. “The bottom line is, when something is broken, you got to make it right,” he said speaking about the wealth that was built by slave labor and has now compounded.
— Priscilla Thompson (@PriscillaWT) December 28, 2019
In response to a question about investing in Amtrak, Buttigieg said he’s already trying to get them to change South Bend’s code “which for some reason is S.O.B.” He clarified that project is low on his list of priorities.
