A Black Lives Matter activist, who appeared to be white, started a fight at an event being held by black leaders in support for South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Black Lives Matter protesters gathered to protest the event, and the man with the group stole the microphone from councilwoman Sharon McBride.
“Who chose these people as the black leaders?” the man shouted on the microphone. “Who organized this?” At one point in the video, a black woman appears to try to attack the man with her cane.
After the microphone was taken from him, the man got the protesters to chant, “This is a farce!”
The event comes as Buttigieg continues to struggle with black voters in his run for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“This is a farce!” This video is wild.
