Pete Buttigieg's not-so-secret weapon is his husband, Chasten

CNN — There are now 17 hopefuls vying for the Democratic vote to become President of the United States, but there's only one whose spouse has become a talker.

If Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana, is having a moment, so is his husband, 29-year-old Chasten Buttigieg. His sense of humor and revealing honesty about his feelings have been a hit on social media, boosting his followers by the tens of thousands in recent weeks and helping put "Mayor Pete" on the millennial radar.

"The thing I love about him, and maybe the thing you love about him, too, is he is the same person whether we are at home folding laundry together, or if he's in front of a room like this, full of supporters. He's the exact same person," said Buttigieg on Thursday night at a Washington fundraiser for his husband.

***

At the Thursday fundraiser, Chasten Buttigieg discussed the couple's first date, four years ago, a few weeks after they met, virtually, on the dating app Hinge.

"I really could tell on our first date when we were walking the streets of South Bend, we went to see a South Bend Cubs game, the way he interacts with people, the way he cares about people, that call to service," Buttigieg said. "He is consistently staying up late and thinking and talking to himself and thinking about 'how can I change the world, how can I make it a better place?'"

The couple married in June of last year; at the wedding reception there were arcade games, the claw-grabber (Pete's favorite) and skeeball (Chasten's favorite).

Never been able to figure out how this works - if Chasten is the husband, is Buttgieg the wife?

I wonder how many black Americans would vote for a white homosexual from Indiana if he somehow wins the nomination.

We HAVE TO start editing these articles somehow because I get PHYSICALLY ILL when I see the words his and husband next to each other.

I want to ####ing throw up for days.

Natural revulsion isn’t homophobia, idiots. It’s the innate knowledge that it’s an abomination that makes a sane person sick.

Of course i’m joking about editing, but it does make me sick.

Read this story, get beyond the propaganda and then doubt that America has descended into a land of decadence and hedonism.

Unlike ol Pete who, like the rest of his marxist/fascist party members, will lie to your face to swindle your vote.

Homosexuals really do care.
And not just about anal penetration.

Right there with ya, dp.

That whole “his husband” and “her wife” sends me into a tailspin. It just does not compute. All the brainwashing in the world will not change me....even if they’re adorably folding laundry together. Barf.

What’s wrong with those two words?

“He is consistently staying up late and thinking and talking to himself and thinking about ‘how can I change the world, how can I make it a better place?’”

Lol, what steaming, prodigious pile of crap!! What sort of a moron would not immediately see through this nonsense?

Of course we already know the answer...right?

and that is the fundamental problem with communism and these folks.

They have everything figured out and will micro-manage your role and choices in society.
The most dangerous aspect is their high motivation, because they are guiding you to be a better person.

lol.

Yeah, no way. Ever. I stopped watching TV when I saw them kissing on “Spartacus” years ago. Great remake series.

I don’t care. I shut it.

Besides some NFL games, haven’t watched TV since.

I like streaming so if i’m turned off by what i see...i can turn it off :)
