Pete Buttigieg defends his marriage: "It's never involved me having to send hush money to a porn star"

Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg hit back at conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh after he made homophobic remarks last week on his show. During a CNN town hall in Nevada on Tuesday night, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, said he's willing to debate "family values" against Limbaugh or President Trump, who awarded Limbaugh with the Presidential Medal of Honor during the State of the Union earlier this month.

CNN's Erin Burnett was discussing the comments from Limbaugh, who said America's "not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband." She then mentioned Limbaugh said on his show that Mr. Trump told him to "never apologize" for his remarks against Buttigieg.

Buttigieg, who is gay and married, brushed off Limbaugh's comments on Sunday, but on Tuesday, he further dismissed any notion of morality coming from him or Mr. Trump. "The idea of the likes of Rush Limbaugh or Donald Trump lecturing anybody on family values?" he said. "Sorry but one thing about my marriage is, it's never involved me having to send hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse with him or her."

LOL!! I am really shocked that you said this. And don't get me wrong, I don't mean this in a bad way. I am just surprised you would take that stance. But I will say this. I totally agree with you. LOL!!

Bruh. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. I have my doubts about buddy but man....this is bad, really bad

I am with you on that. But unfortunately Pete's lifestyle is going to turn a lot of people off. But at least with Pete, you know who and what he is.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[CEE DOG]

I ain't there yet. For now I'll let y'all have ole booty boy.

He is clearly up to the task intellectually and in campaigning and would probably be the best nominee for President or VP, but.....when the rubber meets the road his lifestyle may play well in Denmark but not so well in Kansas.

Nobody needs Kansas. LOL! All they got is KU basketball and miles and miles of uninteresting people and land.

I don't think that any of us are "there" yet. Well, I can't speak for anyone else, but I will no longer just dismiss him outright like I once did. But like you said, he is a booty boy. I understand how you feel.

You are absolutely correct.

Pete was polling at 4% among black voters as of a week ago. He's gonna need some improvement in that area if he wants to surge.

 

[Olde Hornet]

The russians and republicans are doing a great job of divide and conquer among non white people.

I want someone that can beat agent orange, thats my top priority.

I am no fan of Sanders - he cant get elected - he will be the reason the democrats lose again if he wins or loses. He is already saying wants to play by different rules to get the nomination. HIs ego is out of control.

Who's was your second choice?

 

[CEE DOG]

Has nothing to do with Russia for me and many of my friends and family. I don't support gay values. Never have and never will. If a man doesn't stand for something, he will for anything.

In so many words that's what Hillary thought.

She didn’t give a crap about much. She thought it was her time to be POTUS and ran her campaign that way.

 

[jsupop33]

I went hard at ole Hillary in 2016 on here. Boy do I miss her right now. I'm sorry Hillary. Come back

 

[CEE DOG]

I must admit though, I would love to see how the preachers would handle him winning the white house on Sunday mornings..... Lol

I may be slow but I could never understand then and even today why so many white people and women disliked her! They equated her and Trump as being your choice among the worse of two evils! I thought of her as being tough but at the same time one of the most qualified individuals to ever run for the office of President. Sadly, I think most if not all of the candidates currently running except for maybe "Mayor Pete" to all fall short of what she brought to the table in 2016.

Women hate Hillary because she stayed with Bill after that sex scandal.

Remember, the extreme feminists are almost all Democrat. They are anti marriage and pro wedlock children and pro LGBT.

Regarding Mayor Pete... some interesting comments in here. I never equate Blackness and LGBT but I know for a fact that Obama was getting some of the same feelings from a lot of white folks around this time in 2008. "He sounds good, but he's Black... I don't know if I'm there yet."

The most important thing for me is to defeat agent orange. There are a lot of people that agree with you, thats why the russians and republicans are so good at sewing seeds of discontent. It does not matter which democrat wins the nomination, they will do the same thing to the winning candidate. I fundamentally disagree with Sanders and will not vote for him if he gets the nomination. Any of the others, I can hold my nose and vote for them.
