Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg drew a sold-out crowd to a fundraiser at an iconic West Hollywood gay bar on Thursday.
Attendees at The Abbey each paid about $25 to attend the grassroots event for Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who was introduced by his husband, Chasten.
“If anybody tells you whether they’re not sure if America is capable in these twisted and dark times of delivering or vindicating our hopes,” Buttigieg told the crowd, “tell them you saw at The Abbey in West Hollywood the top tier presidential candidate on his way to the White House, moments after his husband introduced him.”
The location of the fundraiser took on increased significance for Buttigieg’s supporters, especially those from the LGBTQ community who see themselves represented by the first major openly gay presidential candidate.
Speaking to an estimated 700 supporters, Buttigieg responded to President Donald Trump’s jab the day before, when he appeared to mock Buttigieg’s ability to adequately deal with foreign leaders.
“You can’t get too worried about the name-calling and the games he plays,” Buttigieg told the crowd. “The negotiations that they are conducting, whether it’s on trade or things like North Korea, are usually a personal high-wire act with no safety net.”

He’ll need 57000 of these fundraisers to get to what he needs to run a presidential campaign. That would be about 200 of these “sold out” events every day.
misery loves company. These mentally ill people flock to each other for ratification and to find quick sex partners they can take to the bathroom stalls. We need to take the gloves off on the decadent sexual deviate and expose him. He is a threat to our children and our American culture. He is an abomination.
He’s got that 3% of the electorate locked up!
Wonder if “locked up” is an appropriate verb/description?
Is “Buttigieg” pronounced, “Booty Judge?”
Makes sense.

Ah, translation: The ONLY reason this very average person has any newsworthiness is that he is gay.
How gay.
Make me vomit. What a perfect poster child for the RAT party...in their perverted, twisted image.
He is drawing bigger crowds than Biden and the Clinton's.
LOL!
Well it’s rigged for Biden this time , like it was rigged for Obama and then Hillary ,LOL
Pete is baiting Trump in hopes of fueling the “hater” meme.
Perhaps that’s just the entry fee...
All gay. All the time with this guy. Nothing else. No other topic.
They could’ve easily raised more than that in West Hollywood, but 25 bucks/seat makes it look like this is grassroots. Mark my words. They are seriously considering him for the VP slot. That’s what all of this positive coverage is about.
How many barstools need to be turned upside down to seat 700?
The Sodomites have arrived!
Yep.
He should hold a fundraising rally at the Standard Hotel West Hollywood.
Special....
[in these twisted and dark times]
The irony is strong with this one.......
“I don’t see a salad bar....”
