Oprah Winfrey calls Pete Buttigieg 'Buttabeep, Buttaboop' — and he doesn't mind
The Indiana Democrat, speaking to WGBH radio in Boston on Tuesday, celebrated the fact that the famed television host is reading his book and mentioned him in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter."In the car on the way over, somebody just said that Oprah mentioned me, which is arguably a bigger deal than coming in second in a poll," Buttigieg said.During the lengthy Hollywood Reporter interview, Oprah was asked how she would wield her influence in the 2020 election.
"Just the other day, I was at Apple with Spielberg and we were in the hallway talking about, 'What are we going to do?' And I said, 'Have you heard of this Butta guy?' He goes,"No, Butta-who?" I go, 'Buttabeep, Buttaboop. Look him up,'" she said.
