No, we did not.
Pete, concerning said essay:
When asked about the essay in his CNN town hall Thursday night, Buttigieg explained that he had commended Sanders’s bravery, not necessarily his ideology. “What I really admired about Senator Sanders —and still do — is his consistency and willingness to say exactly what he believes,” Buttigieg said. “It doesn’t mean I agree with him. I didn’t agree with him on everything then and don’t agree with him on everything now. But I do believe that wherever we fall on some pundit’s ideological spectrum, we have a responsibility to talk about what we believe in and to make the case for what we think it’s right, when it’s popular and when it’s not.”
