Mayor Pete's idea of "faith outreach"

Well, well. He's hired a "faith outreach director."

Are you surprised to learn that she's a LBGT millennial and a former Episcopalian who left that denomination to become a Unitarian?

Here's how she sees her mission:

“The conversation about religion and politics has been dominated by one particular type of religion. ... It can be so much more,” she said. “I want to make sure the campaign is really reaching out to faiths that typically haven’t had much say in politics — Native American spirituality, Sikh spirituality, Bahais.”

I'd wager that there are a lot more black Democrats than there are practitioners of Native American or Sikh spirituality and Bahais of any party affiliation. And black Democrats are that party's demographic most likely to embrace sound Christian doctrine. And Buttigieg already polls abysmally among them. In South Bend, his name is mud among black citizens over a messy investigation into a police shooting.

I don't think he's helped himself with this move.
