MSNBC’s Johnson: White Reporters Kissing Buttigieg ‘Butt’; ‘He’s White, Gay Version of Cory Booker’

EXCERPT:

JOHNSON: "Well, it’s Beto, Biden and Buttigieg. I mean, everybody’s been kissing his butt, too. And it’s amazing to me. It’s because —let’s be candid. Most of the reporters are white and they’re looking for a white guy who makes them feel good about themselves. Some of these people: Bernie and Biden, it makes a lot of sense. Beto, who didn’t win anything. Buttigieg who, look: basically, he’s got a Rhodes scholarship, he was a mayor of a small city. He’s just a white, gay version of Cory Booker. Right? And at least Cory Booker’s in the Senate. So I think in many respects, this reflects the lack of diversity in the media. Because these guys are not the most dynamic or interesting candidates, except for the top two people."
