Mayor Buttigieg asserts that VP Pence advances “homophobic policies,” adding that in his view he doesn’t know whether Pence is homophobic, but argues that his policies are “hurting other people” just the same.
CHICAGO — Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg accused Vice President Mike Pence of advancing “homophobic policies,” saying that while he doesn’t know whether Pence is truly homophobic, his policies are “hurting other people” just the same.
Those comments came the same week that President Trump, asked about Buttigieg’s same-sex marriage, said it was “absolutely fine” and that he had no objection to Buttigieg appearing with his husband on-stage at his campaign kickoff. Pence has pointed out that he’s always treated Buttigieg with respect and has argued that the South Bend mayor is cynically picking a fight with him to raise his political profile.
He added that Pence has also not raised objections to President Trump’s ban on transgender people serving openly in the military nor reversed his earlier opposition to same-sex marriage or gay people serving openly in the military.
