Harris Campaign Creating ‘Space’ for ‘White Dudes’ to ‘Be Honest’ About Role in History

Kamala Harris is using potential veep candidate Pete Buttigieg to woo “white dude’’ voters — “who need to be honest with ourselves and each other about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history.’’

Buttigieg, transportation secretary and one of Vice President Harris’ top supporters, will appear virtually at a Zoom event at 8 p.m. Monday with the group “White Dudes for Harris.”

“As White Dudes, we know full well how MAGA cynically preys on resentments,” reads an email to a Post reporter from the group’s organizer, Ross Morales. “This moment of crisis is challenging us, but we won’t let fear define who we are and take us — or our country — down a dark path.

“We’re coming together to create a space of trust where White Dudes can support each other and work to elect Kamala Harris the next President of the United States.”

Its key values were explained in Morales’ message.

“As White men, we recognize all too clearly the culture of toxic entitlement surrounding Donald Trump,” he wrote. “We need to be honest with ourselves and each other about the role we’ve played in our nation’s history — good and bad. We’re creating a space of honesty and trust, where we can support each other and work for a new, brighter future.”
