Nikki van den Heever, a caucus precinct captain for former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, tried to talk down an Iowa woman who was incensed to find out — in real-time during a caucus after she’d signed a card supporting him — that the candidate is openly gay.
“Are you saying that he has the same-sex partner? Pete?” the woman says in the clip, which was posted to both Twitter and Reddit early Tuesday morning.
“Yes,” van den Heever responds.
“Are you kidding?” the woman says, and upon being told Mayor Pete is married, says “Then I don’t want anybody like that in the White House. So can I have my card back?”
“I don’t know, you signed it. We could go ask,” van den Heever says, then tells the woman, “The whole point of it is, though, he’s a human being, right? Just like you and me and it shouldn’t really matter…”
“Well he better read the Bible,” the woman — who is wearing buttons in support of Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar — says.
“He does, and he says that God doesn’t choose a political party because…” van den Heever says, as the woman interrupts to ask, “Why does it say in the Bible that a man should marry a woman then?”
“Well I totally respect your viewpoint on this, I so totally do, but I think that we were not around when the Bible was written,” van den Heever replies.
“How come this is never been brought out before?” the woman asks.
The precinct captain tries to convince the woman that we’re all human beings and says she’ll check on the status of her signed card.
Mayor Pete and his husband Chasten Buttigieg were on the cover of Time magazine in May.

I know if I ever run, I’m going to give away tons and tons of campaign bottoms!!!
Classic Rush - Low Information Voter for sure.
If they weren't this misinformed no democrat would ever get more than 20% of the vote outside of major urban areas.
Surely you know that around half the people in the country don't vote. Of those that do less than half of them are political junkies like FReepers. A goodly number of Republican voters also don't keep up with what is going on the the world of politics.
I must admit though, voting for someone who queer and in a same sex marriage and not knowing it is pretty sorry.
Quite.
Miss-informed, UN-informed or willfully ignorant?
>>Mayor Pete and his husband Chasten Buttigieg were on the cover of Time magazine in May.<<
Mayor Pete could become First Lady.
Putin ROFLOL
BARF (Home of the Gay)
More proof that Demwits are the low information voters.
I know if I ever run, I’m going to give away tons and tons of campaign bottoms!!!.....Don’t worry, Pete will take ANY bottom!
If she is just finding this out now...maybe shell be even more shocked Bernie is a Communist and Pocahontas is a Socialist.
They don’t want old school Democrats. Just their votes.
This confirms that dumb pills do exist. People get up in the morning, brush their teeth, and pop 200mg of stupid.
“Oh for cripes sake, how could anybody NOT know he’s gay?”
Sadly, these ignorant RATs are able to vote. Nobody so misinformed should be given a ballot.
Bernie needs to be asked to denounce Communism.
Where has this woman been for the past year? Mayor Pete has been flaunting his sexual preference as if he thinks that’s the reason why we should vote for him, and his unpronounceable last name looks like a bad joke.
If she is just finding this out now...maybe shell be even more shocked Bernie is a socialist.
Lolol!!
No, that the entire Dim party is socialist.
Bernie’s a communist. Remember?
:-)
Some are pretty clueless. I have run into a number of people who weren’t aware of Buttigieg’s proclivities. Three old ladies my mother has coffee with didn’t know “Pete” was full-blown gay until mom informed them... and then they didn’t want to believe it.
full-blown you say?
LMAO, but covering it so I don’t get probed.
