Its even worse in print that I thought

AH: So one final question. How do you convey that to younger voters? How do you counter the “Mayo Pete” memes? Are you familiar?(The “Mayo Pete” memes feature Mr. Buttigieg’s supporters dancing to Panic! at the Disco’s “High Hopes"; the “mayo” name plays on the idea that, as Mel Magazine explains, Mr. Buttigieg is seen by some as “bland and overwhelmingly white.”)

I’m not. Do I want to know?

BS: You haven’t heard that expression?

AH: Well, mayonnaise as I think, and a lot of people think is really, really gross and there have been teens ——

BS: Wait a minute. [LAUGHTER]

AH: Let’s not get off track.

BS: Wait a minute!

AH: Anyway, people feel strongly about mayo. There have been younger people — there’s a meme going around called “Mayo Pete,” and that I think does speak a little bit to the lack of youth support that you currently hold, even compared to those who are significantly older (.A New York Times/Siena College poll in November found that young voters ranked Mr. Buttigieg as their third choice, behind Senators Warren and Sanders.)

KK: A more generous interpretation is it’s bland.

PB: O.K.

John Broder: White.

Several others: And white. [LAUGHTER]

I get the white part.

AH: I didn’t mean to imply that you’re gross. [LAUGHTER] That’s not what I meant.
