Pete Buttigieg says he won't 'take lectures on family values' from conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh, who suggested Americans wouldn't elect Buttigieg president because he’s been 'kissing his husband on stage' after debates.
Buttigieg, who is vying to be the first openly gay U.S. president, addressed the historic nature of his candidacy“There was a moment before we went out when Chasten pulled me in and just reminded me what this means for some kid peeking around the closet door wondering if this country has a place for them,” Buttigieg said."I didn’t set out to be the gay president, but certainly seeing what this means is really meaningful and really powerful.
In a radio interview with Geraldo Rivera, Trump was asked if he thinks Americans would vote for a gay man to be president. Trump said, adding,"I think there would be some that wouldn’t. I wouldn’t be among that group, to be honest with you."and finishing second in the New Hampshire Democratic primary to Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
