During his interview on the country radio station, Buttigieg talked about meeting country music stars Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw, before then discussing how Democratic candidates should do more to reach out to conservative communities.

Garner"has a big audience," Smith added."It's an audience that doesn't typically hear directly from Democratic candidates for president." on Sunday, a spokesperson for the radio broadcasting stations company explained that their programming manager's decision to pull the interview was due to"the large number of political candidates currently in the race."

," the spokesperson added."The effects of the FCC's Equal Time Rule are widely understood and considered whenever these types of issues arise.", who was in the studio during Buttigieg's interview with Garner, called the decision"an incredible act of cowardice for a company who's slogan is 'Where Every Voice Matters.'"
