Pressed on taking more ownership of his record as mayor of South Bend, Pete Buttigieg tells GStephanopoulos he has 'never been afraid to talk about the good, the bad and the indifferent that we've experienced in South Bend.'
Buttigieg has maintained that he demoted the city's police chief to the rank of captain, because of the chief's failure to inform him that the department was under federal investigation amid reports that Boykins allegedly had ordered people to secretly record racist comments by senior white police officers.
Buchanon, the city's fire chief for five years, had originally submitted retirement papers in 2010, but after Buttigieg's election informed him that he no longer wanted to retire. By that point Buttigieg had already named a replacement for Buchanon, who eventually retired in 2012.

On Saturday, at the McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner, Buttigieg took a jab at critics as well as his opponents while making a direct appeal to voters in the Granite State."Now, I know some are asking what business does a South Bend mayor have seeking the highest office in the land? You don't have an office in Washington. You don't have decades of experience in the establishment. The city or the mayor of it isn't even the biggest city in the country.
