Pete Buttigieg says 'disruption' of blue-collar industries has helped fuel white nationalism

Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, a 2020 presidential candidate, argued that a rise in white nationalism and domestic terrorism in the US is tied to economic insecurity and the transformation in blue collar industries in the US.

"As we see dislocation and disruption in certain parts of the country, from rural areas to my home in the industrial Midwest, and in the economy, this leads to a kind of disorientation and loss of community and identity," the Indiana Democrat said in an interview with the Washington Post published Tuesday.
