What Was The Smudge On Pete Buttigieg’s Forehead At Democratic Debate? Candidate Thinks It Was Remnants Of A Gnat

Democratic debate watchers took to Twitter Tuesday night to comment on a strange brown smudge that appeared on South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg’s (D-Indiana) forehead. 

In an interview with CNN’s Alisyn Camerota, Buttigieg said that his “best guess” was that it was a gnat that he must have unknowingly killed. He also added that “hopefully it didn’t distract from the message about what’s at stake in this election.”
