'If he wanted to clear this up, he could come out today and say he's changed his mind that it shouldn't be legal to discriminate against anybody in this country for who they are. That's all,' Buttigieg said.
Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg, continuing his war-of-words with fellow Hoosier Vice President Mike Pence, said Thursday that Pence could"clear this up" by taking a broad stance against discrimination.
"But if he wanted to clear this up, he could come out today and say he's changed his mind that it shouldn't be legal to discriminate against anybody in this country for who they are. That's all." The spat between him and the vice president began last weekend when Buttigieg critiqued Pence's record on LGBT equality during an event hosted by an activist group, and escalated on Wednesday when the vice president accused Buttigieg of attacking his Christian faith during an interview on CNBC.
