Pete Buttigieg’s Bad Faith Campaign

What did Mike Pence ever do to Pete Buttigieg? During a speech at the LGBTQ Victory Fund National Champagne Brunch on Sunday, the South Bend mayor and 2020 Democrat presidential hopeful lambasted the vice president. “If me [sic] being gay was a choice, it was a choice that was made far, far above my pay grade,” Buttigieg preached to the choir. “And that’s the thing I wish the Mike Pences of the world would understand — that if you’ve got a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me. Your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.” Perhaps all political problems really are theological.
