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.”

I wonder what buttgag did for the $25??? Enquiring minds want to know!
If Pete Buttigieg becomes the POTUS will that make wife boy the FHOTUS? (first homo of the US)
Oh wait forgot about Barry
That scene is a movie classic. My late mother normally doesn’t laugh out loud but with this scene she did. That scene was so funny both me and mama just burst out laughing out loud.
[I wonder what buttgag did for the $25??? Enquiring minds want to know!]
Quite honestly, I’d rather NOT know... I just ate my lunch.
“Addmission? Four skins?”
That about covers it...
“$25 from 700 attendees.”
$25 to get laid? Can’t beat that!
“Poppers to the left of me,
suckers to the right.
Here I am, stuck in the middle with you.”
I love stories about this guy. It is an ever present reminder to Spartacus Booker that it could have been him if he would have come out of the closet.
Iconic, huh?
I’m very impressed that Mayor Pete could sell out at a bar where each barstool (turned upside down of course) accommodates four customers!
They really packed them in.
That’s just fabulous.
He managed to get 700 homosexuals in the heart of the homosexual district in Los Angeles. That’s supposed to be a feat?
There’s probably 500 of them in the place every night looking for strange.
175
the cops just gave them lip service about parking there.
Sounds like a Chapter meeting of the CPUSA.
The First Laddie, then the agencies won’t have to change the acronym. This is what Bill Clinton might have become if Hillary had made it.
