Pete Buttigieg is playing defense after two big developments yesterday.
Can you share this Tweet to keep the pressure on?

[ [link removed] ]I agree with @ewarren: @PeteButtigieg should open up his big-money
fundraisers to media so we know what promises are made to people that pony
up big bucks. I also agree with @NYTimesOpinion: Pete must reveal his
corporate clients at McKinsey. Stop hiding info like Trump does.

CNN reports, "Sen. Elizabeth Warren called on Pete Buttigieg to open up
his private fundraisers to reporters and reveal the clients he worked with
during his time at McKinsey, the management consulting firm."

Here's more of what Warren said in a press gaggle with reporters:

I think that voters want to know about possible conflicts of interest...

Mayor Pete should open up the doors so that anyone can come in and report
on what's being said...No one should be left to wonder what kind of
promises are being made to the people who can pony up big bucks.

The mayor should be releasing who's on his finance committee, who are the
bundlers who are raising big money for him, who he's given titles to and
made promises to.

We face a time in America where people are deeply concerned about
corruption. They are deeply concerned about a government that works better
and better for the wealthy and well connected and worse and worse for
everyone else. They have a right to have this information about anyone who
asks for their vote for president.

Amen. Can you share on Twitter? [ [link removed] ]I agree with @ewarren: @PeteButtigieg
should open up his big-money fundraisers to media so we know what promises

@NYTimesOpinion: Pete must reveal his corporate clients at McKinsey. Stop
hiding info like Trump does.

And here's what the New York Times Editorial Board said in their op-ed
that rocked the political world:

Mr. Buttigieg has said precious little about his time at McKinsey. He has
not named the clients for whom he worked, nor said much about what he
did...

This is not a tenable situation. Mr. Buttigieg owes voters a more complete
account of his time at the company. Voters seeking an alternative to Mr.
Trump should demand that candidates not only reject Mr. Trump’s positions,
but also his behavior...

In some more recent interviews, Mr. Buttigieg has sought to play down his
McKinsey years, telling one reporter, “It’s not something that I think is
essential in my story.” But that is inconsistent with the manner in which
Mr. Buttigieg has chosen to present himself to voters, as a candidate with
roots in the private sector. Those three years at McKinsey represent Mr.
Buttigieg’s only substantial claim on such experience...

Working at McKinsey is not quite the résumé booster it used to be. The
Times reported this week that the consulting firm has advised the Trump
administration on the logistics of its cruel crackdown on immigration.
McKinsey also has offered its services as a consultant to brutal and
corrupt governments and state-owned enterprises in other countries,
including China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Mr. Buttigieg has criticized the company, and cast the troubles as largely
postdating his tenure...But that’s an incomplete answer.

Mr. Buttigieg needs to explain what he did at McKinsey.
