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.

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...

“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.

“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.

No need to. Mayor Pete is obviously an expert on family values.

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.

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?
