After last night's debate, a Wall Street Journal reporter asked Pete
Buttigieg if he would accept Elizabeth Warren's challenge to all
presidential candidates to appoint no big donors as ambassadors. He
refused.

Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) held him to account today, saying that
accepting Warren's challenge should be a "no-brainer" -- especially after
one of the main culprits involved in Trump's impeachment got an
ambassadorship after giving $1 million to Trump's inauguration.

should not be ambassadors.”

During last night’s debate, Elizabeth Warren said:

"How did Ambassador Sondland get there? You know, this is not a man who
had any qualifications, except one: He wrote a check for a million
dollars. And that tells us about what's happening in Washington, the
corruption, how money buys its way into Washington.

"You know, I raised this months ago about the whole notion that donors
think they're going to get ambassadorships on the other side. And I've
taken a pledge. Anyone who wants to give me a big donation, don't ask to
be an ambassador, because I'm not going to have that happen.

"I asked everyone who's running for president to join me in that and not a
single person has so far. I hope what we saw today during the testimony
means lots of people will sign on and say we are not going to give away
these ambassador posts to the highest bidder."

Especially during the impeachment hearings, every presidential candidate
should take a clear stand.

“Big donors shouldn’t be ambassadors. Period.”

Thanks for being a bold progressive.
