Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock is under fire after sending out a homophobic tweet about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.

In the tweet, Maddock calls Buttigieg, who is gay, a "weak little girl," and references his move to Michigan.

Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, moved to Traverse City with his husband, Chasten, who grew up in Traverse City. He also served in the U.S. Navy Reserve for eight years and was deployed to Afghanistan for seven months in 2014.

I'm not certain what the issue is here......Buttplug is indeed gay and a pillow biter so calling him a weak little girl is a problem why?

[Mr. Rabbit]

Peter Butt Guy. Perfect name for a joto.

Interesting.

Traverse City is the second Republican stronghold in Michigan, after Kent-Ottawa Counties [Grand Rapids].

It was an epicenter of the 2018-20 Michigan vote fraud, and I suspect that it was aided and abetted by the Usual Michigan Republican Squishes.

I've noted an infestation of Lefties in the Traverse City area recently.

Calling a guy a “weak little girl” isn’t necessarily “homophobic”. You can call a sissified hetero guy the same thing. It’s just as likely to be a commentary on his lack of masculinity as it is to his sexual preference.

calling a man a weak little girl is not about gay

its about him being weak

which pete is

[DallasBiff]

But if a biological woman, has cajones, it’s ok per Madeline Albright?

For crying out loud this is NOT a homo remark people need to get a grip GEEZE!! Adam Kinzinger is a weak little girl too, I don’t think he is gay!!!

[deks]

this is true

[Dr. Sivana]

I don’t think he is gay!!!

Me neither, despite his own best efforts to suggest otherwise.

[Nifster]

Since when is calling someone a weak little girl a homophobic slur?

It speaks to lack of courage

[AZJeep]

South Bend, Indiana, moved to Traverse City
________

Typical Democrat - gets rich ruling decrepit city, then moving on to enjoy some nice lakeshore property!

[microgood]

I think he is a Monkeypox magnet.

[Ex gun maker.]

Big deal, is truth no longer an absolute defense?

[FlingWingFlyer]

So, if I tweet out the Buttigieg is a wimpy, know nothing, is that being “homophobic”.

My little brother lives at long lake

They town of TC is lib
The county the opposite

Pretty but cold

[wardaddy]

Im pretty sure Pete never saw combat

[Gene Eric]

the co-chair should argue it was a sexist remark.

Expressing anti-homosexual views is not “homophobic”. I do not have a “phobia” about homosexuals. I adhere to God’s word, that homosexual practices are sinful. That’s it.
