Yet, this…..

Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced swift criticism for saying that it was not viable to have former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024 due to him being gay.
"I guess I’d ask you to just elaborate on that a little bit. It’s hard to hear," MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday during an interview with Harris about her campaign memoir."You’re the first woman elected vice president. You’re a Black woman and a South Asian woman elected to that high office, very nearly elected president. To say that he couldn’t be on the ticket effectively because he was gay, it’s hard to hear."
In her new book, "107 Days," Harris wrote that Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partner — if I were a straight White man."
"That's not what I said, that he couldn't be on the ticket because he is gay," the former presidential candidate responded. "I was clear that in '107 Days,' in one of the most hotly contested elections for president of the United States against someone like Donald Trump, who knows no floor, to be a Black woman running for president of the United States, and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man. With the stakes being so high, it made me very sad. But I also realized it would be a real risk."
She said she had been an ally of the LGBTQ community her whole life and said it was not due to any "prejudice" on her part, but rather because she feared it would be untenable with Americans to elect a Black woman with a gay running mate.
"We had such a short period of time. And the stakes were so high. I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant," she said.

I would have offered $1000 to any reporter who asked Buttplug what brand of anal lube he preferred.
Why go for gay and boring when she could have gay and crazy?
Far worse than the opprobrium of being gay, Pete Buttigieg suffers from a total lack of administrative capability, and is ill-equipped to handle the responsibilities of the Vice-Presidency, considering how poorly he discharged his duty as Secretary of Transportation, an office he was AWOL from much of the time of his appointment.
“Mayor Pete” is just all around not a very competent individual.
She would have lost the popular vote by an even wider margin if she put a homo on the ticket.
But she DID pick a gay running mate. I don’t get this.
As if Walz isn’t gay.
Yet, this…..
Bootyjig was too gay, Walz turned out to be not gay enough. The only guy with the right amount of gay was Gavin Newscum and he wouldn’t return her calls.
Black men don't want to vote for a rump ranger.
Just like Palestinians don't want a crowd of gays on their rescue flotilla.
This is between the leftists.
Kamala pretends to be black. Buttplug could have pretended to be straight.
Can any of his fans name a single positive accomplishment of Pete Buttigieg from all his years in public life? Aside from the box he checks?
And here I thought that the USA had eliminated ‘hoof-in-mouth’ disease years ago!
Could its resurgence be the result of a too-liberal immigration policy?
Yeah, she’s been trying to get out of the disastrous box she’s put herself in every since it hit the public. Making a fool of herself all over again. Trying to blame Republicans, as usual, then throwing in a bunch of Trump slurs, as if he had anything to do with it.
How about for being a moron? How about because he failed miserably at the job he already held? How about because he’s never negotiated a million dollar deal? I guess her reason was good enough.
First honest thing that POS has said in a while and her voters are coming with pitchforks. Love it!
Dirty little secret: Women are some of the most vicious haters of gay people.
Gay?! Backlash?! C’mon!
