Pete Buttigieg on fatherhood
CBS News ^ | June 26, 2024 | By Jonathan Vigliotti

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."

Pete bought his kids as toys for his butt-buddy. Now he’s moved them closer to Chasten’s parents so they can have actual caregivers. In a decent country, the kids would have had real homes from the get-go, and these guys would be in jail right now.

Get back in the closet, perverts, and leave the children alone.

Did these mentally ill individuals celebrate Mother’s Day? A poor female is missing her beautiful children.

My bad. Or should we hedge things and say that in view of Penelope’s parents, she is a girl — for now?

Yeah.....I was being awfully presumptuous I should know better. I’m old enough to remember Sonny and Cher schlepping little Chastity out on stage.

Me too. Fortunately, our years mean that we have the wisdom to know that, in God’s good time, the transgender folly of today will pass.

Those kids will never know a mothers embrace.

Indeed being cheated of another thing in life not one thing is normal in that life style.

How disgusting.

They kicked the mother out of the hospital bed and posed on it for the photo-op of fake “parenthood” on virtually the same day.

“Done with you, get out!”

These poor children will pay a very high cost for this disaster.

They’re probably going to end up in prison for the same behavior as a lot of other gay couples with kids

If they get caught.

A lot of them go undetected, tragically.
