Former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg responded Sunday to comments from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh about him kissing his spouse, saying he won’t take advice from Mr. Limbaugh on family values.
The small-town mayor who shot to the top of the 2020 Democratic field joined CNN’s State of the Union Sunday, pushing back against the comments that drew criticism last week from both sides of the aisle.
“I love my husband. I’m faithful to my husband,” Mr. Buttigieg said. “I’m not going to take lectures on family values from the likes of Rush Limbaugh.”
On Wednesday, Mr. Limbaugh characterized on his radio show how Democratic voters might be thinking, suggesting they may not believe a gay man can be elected president.
“They’re saying, ‘OK, how’s this going to look?’” Mr. Limbaugh said. “Thirty-seven-year-old gay guy kissing his husband on stage, next to Mr. Man, Donald Trump.’”
“Despite all the great wokeness and despite all the great ground that’s been covered, that America’s still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage president,” he added.
Mr. Limbaugh received the Medal of Freedom from the president earlier this month at the State of the Union.
The president was asked if he thought the country would select a gay man as president in an interview with Geraldo Rivera, according to the Associated Press.
“I think so,” the president said.
“I think there would be some that wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be among that group, to be honest with you.” Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Buttigieg finished first in the Iowa caucuses, neck and neck with Sen. Bernie Sanders, Vermont Independent, who took first in New Hampshire.
Some critics of Mr. Buttigieg have questioned whether he can remain at the top of the polls later this month when South...

Nor, will i be preached at by a sodomite and a commie.
If he kisses his husband then Ole Pete has to be the Mommie.
Is there a candidate that displays more PDA than him?
“Americans won’t stick their noses in your business, if you don’ stick your business in their noses.”
Buttygig can shove his ‘truth’ and family values where the sun don’t shine.
He already has and has done so repeatedly. :(
“I love my husband. I’m faithful to my husband,” Mr. Buttigieg said”
That isn’t the way sexual obsession works. I don’t believe this claim for a second.
Ahh, Petey, you need to go back to Southbendover...
“He” does have a husband. He has a butt buddy. He pitches Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. And catches Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. He is plumbed to be a husband, not to have one.
The Mayor of Realville was talking about normal sane Democrat Voters . He was not attacking Buttgiggle.
Sure I see what you are saying but most conservatives are not pervs
I knew it. Buttigieg’s husband is like the kryptonite we endured with “Hussien” Obama. We weren’t allowed to mention it, because the media/dems couldn’t bear the truth.
I can’t get the image of our President being the “bottom” in the Linclon bedroom of the WH out of my mind. The problem is I will vote against him because I like Trump and his policies, not because I am a homophobe.
Trump won’t alienate ANYONE now. So he visits India, frees Blacks, says nice things about gays. VOTES VOTES VOTES. He knows how to win.
Bugger off Petey...
Truth doesn’t matter any more. Many people are too stupid to know the difference between stating a fact, an opinion, citing the opinion of others, and making a hypothetical supposition.
That’s too much for the half of the public which can barely can understand complex sentences of 4 words or more.
What constitutes a “homophobe”?I know what a phobia is. I know what a homosexual is. But what is a homophobe?
God will take care of you Pete. It’s just a matter of time....
True that.
