Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg overstated his partnerships with black-owned businesses in South Carolina as he tries to improve his standing with minority voters, according to a report.
The former South Bend mayor wrote in an op-ed last week in The State, a South Carolina newspaper, that his campaign had proudly partnered with local businesses like Dianes Kitchen in Chester, Atlantis Restaurant in Moncks Corner and the Fair Deal Grocery on Charlestons Eastside.
The problem, however, is that two of those businesses denied to ABC News that they had forged any sort of partnership with the candidate.

Didnt his campaign get dinged a few weeks ago for claiming endorsements from people who never objected to his endorsement overtures? Perhaps he should see how many of his campaign staff developed their exaggeration skills through resume enhancement.

South Bendover is hardly a major city, it has half the population of Richmond VA.

I still remember the discussion about South Bend-—back when America made real cars...
The joke was that union auto workers were sitting on their porches waiting for Studebaker to come back from Canada.

Worse but likewise, he invokes the Bible for support, which is also a lie, and shows what one can do out of want for confirmation.
