Pete Buttigieg dismantles Donald Trump in just one sentence
The race for the US presidency is in full swing. On Tuesday, CNN candidates were scrutinized at a CNN Town Hall in Las Vegas. Next up is the Nevada primary.
The headline of the evening was provided by Pete Buttigieg, who did surprisingly well in the primaries in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Attack by Limbaugh
The conservative radio presenter Rush Limbaugh, who recently received the Freedom Medal from Donald Trump, attested Buttigieg little chance for the presidential race. Limbaugh said the U.S. is not yet ready for a gay man to kiss his husband on stage. Pete Buttigieg has been married to Chasten Buttigieg since 2018.
Donald Trump then told him to “never apologize for the statements about Buttigieg’s sexuality,” said Limbaugh. It is not certain whether the President really said that to Limbaugh. In any case, last week Trump said he would vote for a gay candidate.

Buttigieg’s counterattack
CNN presenter Erin Burnett asked Buttigieg what he thought of the matter on Tuesday. He obviously finds it rather ridiculous that Trump or Limbaugh of all people tell people about family values. Buttigieg:
“I mean, sorry, but one thing in my marriage is that I never had to send hush money to a porn star after cheating on my spouse with her or him.”

Buttigieg said: “You want to discuss family values? Then let’s discuss family values. I’m ready for it! »
As a reminder, Donald Trump paid the porn actress Stormy Daniels $ 130,000 to keep her alleged affair from going public just before the 2016 election.
It is not the first time that Buttigieg has knocked out the Stormy Daniels affair from the current government. In March he described the ultra-conservative Vice President Mike Pence as the “cheerleader of the porn star presidency”. (CMA)
