This past Monday, Piercy, 41, shared a meme on Instagram about Buttigieg ending his presidential primary campaign that said, “PETER PULLS OUT EARLY FROM BEHIND.”
The meme showed an image of Pepe the Frog, a cartoon character associated with the alt-right and white nationalism, speaking on behalf of “QNN,” a reference to QAnon, a rightwing conspiracy theory about a supposed “deep state” plot against Donald Trump. In a separate post, he said he believed in QAnon.
Piercy’s followers on social media wondered if his posts violated the PGA Tour’s ban on “conduct unbecoming of a professional.”
By Tuesday, Piercy had issued an apology statement on social media.
“Whenever i [sic] post my intent is NEVER to offend,” he said. “I want to apologize if any of my recents [sic] story posts have been offensive.”
“I will do better!”
