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."
