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.

Low information voters.
Such an apt term.
No one is bringing it up much anymore, he’s not holding hands or being affectionate with his man friend. You can’t let this guy be the nominee without making sure people know who he really is. Hopefully Trump won’t shy away from making that known far and wide if he’s their nominee!
Should have read...funny!
Not only is he gay, he is a “catcher “ not a “pitcher “.
The sad thing is these uninformed, stupid people vote.
still living under a rock, Nikki???
But the article’s wording is wrong: “Mayor Pete and his husband Chasten Buttigieg...” It should be something line “Mayor Pete and his co-receptacle...” We need to prevent the same-sex thing from polluting the language.
Is she concerned about what the Bible says about a human life in the womb? Just bewildered at peoples inconsistencies.
There is no maximum limit on how badly misinformed the democrat voter can be. Just as you think that “NOBODY could possibly believe THIS assertion”, along they come and not only vest themselves fully in that crackpot theory, they go on and build upon the fantasy.
And do it all as True Believers.
There is sometimes no way to relate to that frame of mind.
I’m reminded of a, IIRC, flustered San Fransisco city official in the 90s who insisted that there was no way homosexuals engaged in sodomy.
He’s a full-blown communist; socialism is just a “rest stop” on the way to communism, and it’s his cover story.
Here’s hoping you lit the burned out bulb in his head!
The mayor from South Bend bends south. Who knew.
Campaign volunteer: “it’s common knowledge”
Voter: “l never heard it”
That exchange says so much.
I wonder if she got her card back. lol
This type of uninformed voter was seen and heard during Obama’s run. many had no clue he highly supported abortion and when they learned this were equally like this gal.
DemoKKKrat men do, but then demoKKKrat women have male appendages.
This “debate” was about as genuine and spontaneous as a pro wrestling interview.
