When it comes to handling a pair of toddlers, Pete Buttigieg, the unflappable Secretary of Transportation, may appear a little jet-lagged. Pete and his husband, Chasten Buttigieg, raise their two-year old twins, Penelope and Gus, in Traverse City, Michigan, where they recently moved full-time from Washington to be closer to family.
The kids call Pete "Papa," and Chasten "Daddy."
Asked if they are a good cop/bad cop duo, Pete replied, "I don't know if we have it down to good cop/bad cop. I think of myself as the bad cop, but you think I'm a pushover, don't you?"
"You are 100% a pushover," Chasten acknowledged.
Their journey to parenthood began nine years ago, when Chasten brought up children on their first date. The two married in 2018 – the schoolteacher and the hyper-driven Harvard grad, Rhodes scholar, Navy vet, and Mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
A year later Pete launched his history-making run for president at the age of 37.
The political wunderkind, who has stepped into fatherhood and embraced the unscripted, was asked, "Is there a world where you see Penelope and Gus living in the White House in 2029?"
"I don't know about that," Buttigieg replied. "That's just not how I'm thinking, about even the near future. If anything, having kids that little makes you think more than anything about the really long-term future, past when I'm even around."

It is an abomination and another reason I do not watch MSM (Lying media).
I see what you are getting at, but generally adoptive fathers can be very good fathers.
Just what we want...on Father’s Day no less...a lecture on parenthood from a communist peckernecker.
So cute...
This is so obnoxious, inauthentic, and perverted. It’s like Ramaswamy talking about Christianity and American culture.
Of course he is a pushover-he is the bottom.
petey talks about FATHERHOOD? what a mother...
Romans1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
Poor Kids
Guaranteed.
Pete has developed a pothole in his head.
..do these despicable people even take themselves seriously???...I am a proud (straight...!!) father who has parented a child who has in turn parented children, of whom I am very proud.....screw you Buttyplug....you ain’t no and never will be a father....!!!
Poor kids are just toys to them.
Reminds me of Planned Parenthood promoting abortion on Mother’s Day.
CBS’s stylized and streamlined Pete Buttigieg has nothing in common with the ridiculous incompetent at DOT.
Who do they call Mommy?
Turd babies?
Technically, Pete and Chasten are “owners”.
🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
For Father's Day in 1987 they had a story about an unmarried father in New York (probably making minimum wage or not much more). He was supposed to pay child support and the mother was supposed to let him have contact with his daughter. When the mother refused to let him have that contact, he stopped paying child support. CBS gloated over how his wages then were garnished so the mother got the money. Of course he still didn't get to see his daughter. CBS thought that was a suitable story for Father's Day.
