Pete Buttigieg heckled by homophobic protesters; Beto O'Rourke stands up for fellow candidate

Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was heckled by protesters at an event in Texas Friday night, but one of his fellow Democratic challengers was happy to immediately come to his defense.

Buttigieg came out as gay just four years ago, at 33 years old, in an op-ed for the South Bend Tribune. He married his boyfriend, Chasten, in June 2018. "Texans don’t stand for this kind of homophobia and hatred," O'Rourke wrote."Mayor Pete, we are grateful you came to Texas and hope to see you and Chasten back again soon."

"This moment of maximum peril in our country's history could become the moment of maximum promise if we're willing to see it through," O'Rourke told the assembled audience.

If the D party finds a black lesbian who is vegan and atheist, they'll have their perfect candidate.... to hand them a defeat

Beto should be the VP for Biden. They can win 42 states inc Texas. Buttjig needs to take Bernie by the hand and both quit the race. Bernie is badly corrupted by Russia and helped give us Trump, and Buttjig is a fake one issue gay rights stunt candidate.

That’s a darn shame they need to not show up or leave to keep their mouth shut as in today’s world they need to face the facts and accept every one!

This election will be very difficult to watch as 45 has made name-calling, lying and low blows a new norm. Sickening & embarrassing. Hoping that class prevails. CNN MayorPete

Staged.

Quit using the clinically ill term 'phobia' to describe people who are anti-homosexual. Believing something is wrong has nothing to do with an fear that causes significant distress and anxiety.

Not that I have anything about a gay man but, this country is not ready for a gay president

first Dem debate:

It's refreshing to see civilized behavior by political candidates these days.

Obviously staged

No matter what we do.. we will always be judged.. and worst of all it's by each other... noonesperfect ✨
