SOUTH BEND, IN—Quipping that if elected, he would be a father first and president second, Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg told reporters Wednesday that he loved his “wife Marcia and two beautiful kids, Tad and Hayden” in his latest campaign shift. “First, I’d like to thank my incredible rock of 15 years, Marcia, and boys, why don’t you come on up to the stage and give your pops a hug?” said the former mayor of South Bend, beckoning to his newly revamped campaign staff and inviting up a tall, slender woman with two suit-clad young boys who immediately sprinted over Buttigieg yelling “Daddy, Daddy.” “This beautiful, intelligent woman right here—she got me through law school, she got me through my mayoral races, and she’s going to get us to the White House. And Tad and Hayden, thank you for coming here today. But you better get going—Daddy knows you have homework to do!” At press time, Buttigieg grabbed his wife and gave her a long kiss on the lips before shrugging and telling the crowd, “Happy wife, happy life!”

Tad!!! 😂😂😂

Peter Butler is the new name assigned to prototype candidate Mayor008. Butler will be recorded by PETA activists calling Elton John a fa**** for maximum Appalachian 'road cred.'

owensmike The nuclear option.

Dead.

Could've sworn her name is 'Becky'. Or 'Karen'.

So is he gay or nah?

🤣

Sorry he's not the right kind of gay for you, Onion 😑

Maybe he'll get that homophobic womans vote now

Homophobia is soooo funny!

Yikes

Berners are homophobes

haha gettem

Thank you for this. We know Pete Buttigieg is not gay. gaytrutherism

:(

aa_tweeter Whuut?....this is a joke!

Okay. It's sweet I guess

And meantime ...

When Pete found out his husband was gay he divorced him

It is impossible to read this and not laugh. Trying to pinpoint why I love it so and I think it's 1950s wife name. 👌

And our dog Marley!

Applause as Benjamin Netanyahu reveals Jewish mind control program

More like “I love my wife Michelle and two beautiful daughters, Sasha and Malia”

If you say it enough, people will believe it. Lookin you Onion.

Just keeping on with the homophobia, huh?

If he could say that he might be President.

🤣

Tool...no..oh wait..tool..

‘I Love My Wife Michelle And 2 Beautiful Kids, Sasha and Malia,’ you mean.

mass appealing

I think you meant wife Michelle and 2 beautiful kids Sasha and Malia

But? Isn't he gay ?!

Tad and Hayden 🔥🔥🔥

first he steals Obama's cadence and lines, now robdelaney 's Son's mayor shit sandwich with guac knows no bounds

Not buying this. Pete would have adopted kids named Jamal and Pedro for maximum pandering.

Here we go again

Love the Onion

Oh man that's awful, ahahaha

Pete returns to campaign trail, closet

Republicans already used beards to win elections for yrs and that is why Airport bathrooms got so busy

robdelaney

Not sure what you're going for here...aside from pointing out that it's unlikely that a gay man has a wife and two kids.

Ion get

robdelaney

Wow. His kid would ABSOLUTELY be named Tad.

Again? This joke wasn’t funny the first time.

if his husband really wants him to become president he should transition within the next few months to appeal to the conservative heartlands

Get a life.

That's not funny

Does robdelaney work there now?

PeteButtigieg Joking that Pete will say whatever he needs to to get elected is good! Using his sexuality to make that joke is bad! Please do better. You could have used a number of other foils to make the same damn point.

PeteButtigieg I took it as he'd pretend to be straight with a heteronormative family if it would've help him win. Hence why it's a campaign shift.

PeteButtigieg What the fuck

PeteButtigieg You used to be funny.

PeteButtigieg Everybody calm down... Everything is going to be okay. The Onion can make fun of a homosexual man for selling out on ideas, completely unrelated to his sexuality. It's a satirical publication - NONE of their headlines are literal, and all are comedy.

PeteButtigieg This is bad, and you should feel bad

Being homophobic to own the libs.

PeteButtigieg 'Says Buttigieg in Latest Campaign Shift' 🤣

PeteButtigieg Lame.

PeteButtigieg What the fuck? This is garbage. theonion apologize and fix this

PeteButtigieg I don't get the outrage around this. It shows Buttigieg as a grasping, ambitious bastard who will do anything. I think it's hilarious.

PeteButtigieg So the joke is that Pete was lying about being gay before because he thought it would get him votes or what?

PeteButtigieg 😂😂😂

PeteButtigieg My Twitter feed is full of SpaceX news, so I thought 'I Love My Wife Marcia And 2 Beautiful Kids, Tad and Hayden' was the name of a new drone ship.

PeteButtigieg Nope not even a little bit.

PeteButtigieg haha

PeteButtigieg I laughed pretty hard when I first read it. Now that I see its making people mad, It makes me laugh even harder. Keep being you, Onion writers.

PeteButtigieg This is bigotry

PeteButtigieg Oof got some Pete stans in here

PeteButtigieg I'm beginning to suspect this man isn't what he says he is...🤔

PeteButtigieg Lol...

PeteButtigieg does not spark joy

PeteButtigieg Str8 yts telling everyone else what to be offended over again.

PeteButtigieg isnt the joke that he's trying to placate to Americans who are scared of a gay candidate? how is this homophobic

PeteButtigieg People are tripping, take a bloody joke or unfollow

PeteButtigieg punching down here. bad look

PeteButtigieg This belongs on 'forwards from that rich white guy who's parents paid for college'

PeteButtigieg Hurrrr.

PeteButtigieg LOL

PeteButtigieg This is bullshit. Apologize and delete.

PeteButtigieg Ugh, the Onion is becoming Breitbart. No thank you. Especially since this isn't original, but is instead just parroting the gross homophobic claims Bernie supporters were pushing about Buttigieg over the past few weeks.

PeteButtigieg Been funny for 25 years and now this.

PeteButtigieg Remember when you didn't suck?

PeteButtigieg So this is a Bernie Stan account. Got it.

PeteButtigieg 'Progressives' showing they can be just as homophobic as the right.

PeteButtigieg He’s never denied his sexuality as a candidate. Satire has to hit the mark, this is way off.

PeteButtigieg Yeah I think we can pretty much roll credits on The Onion

PeteButtigieg Is he not gay enough for you, Cishets?

PeteButtigieg Onion used to be funny; now it's cruel garbage.

PeteButtigieg Wow Pete guys are apparently REALLY sensitive

PeteButtigieg 😂

PeteButtigieg actual gays: this is funny hashtag-woke straight 'allies' : uhm this is offend

PeteButtigieg greatest funniest political thing Onion ever did (every political apology always sounds like this):

PeteButtigieg Oof.

PeteButtigieg Not intge least bit funny. Insulting as hell.

PeteButtigieg This is it Onion, keep pressing. You're doing great.

PeteButtigieg What happened to the Onion? It used to be great, but now it's putting out this trash.

PeteButtigieg How is this not being ratioed?

PeteButtigieg What the fuck is this homophobic bullshit

PeteButtigieg I’m really sorry you guys got screwed over by Univision, but you are embarrassing yourselves.

PeteButtigieg Unacceptable

PeteButtigieg What. The. Actual. Fuck.

PeteButtigieg For the ppl saying “iTs jUsT a jOkE”, there are a zillion other things and people in the world to ‘joke’ about. Making fun of Pete seems a little elementary, at this point. Gosh, they really MUST be struggling over at the Onion.

PeteButtigieg The joke is about his flipping and flopping on his ideals not his sexuality.

PeteButtigieg The Onion went on Chapo.

PeteButtigieg realhollowful looooollll

PeteButtigieg Is it funny bc it implies this gay man would be straight if it benefited him politically? Like gayness is a choice and all gay people are liars? Stunning political satire from the ruthless 12 year olds at the Onion.

PeteButtigieg Not cool.

PeteButtigieg Hilarious, and spot on. He has shifted his position on almost everything since the start of his campaign.

PeteButtigieg QueerErasure much? Oh look: Woke Left Twitter does homophobia. Delete this post and apologize to Pete and all LGBTQ people.

PeteButtigieg WTF?

PeteButtigieg This is not funny. Please try harder.

charles_kinbote PeteButtigieg ethered

PeteButtigieg Utterly despicable.

PeteButtigieg theyre not calling him a fake gay lmao or being homophobic either. its a joke that he switches his policies to get votes. jesus christ

PeteButtigieg This is gross and you should delete it

PeteButtigieg This ain’t it Onion

guys, do better than this

PeteButtigieg More satire, less homophobia.

PeteButtigieg homophobia heh?

PeteButtigieg Gross. Stop it.

PeteButtigieg lmao forever

PeteButtigieg Please stop being so edgy. You’re frightening the pets.

PeteButtigieg Homophobia to own the moderates?

PeteButtigieg

PeteButtigieg I guess Sirota gave Onion writing duties to Briahna Joy Gray today. This is disgraceful. This isn’t satire. This is BS campaign literature.

PeteButtigieg lol

PeteButtigieg

Bernie PAC

PeteButtigieg This is homophobic

PeteButtigieg gross

PeteButtigieg iScapeSomeTimes 😳

PeteButtigieg Wow, this is just not funny. At all.

Wow this is bullshit and not funny at all.

PeteButtigieg Next, on a very special Family Ties: The strength of the family is tested when Hayden comes out.

PeteButtigieg This pretty fuckin' gross.

PeteButtigieg This sucks. He's gay regardless of whether you like him. Why is that funny?

PeteButtigieg this sucks

PeteButtigieg if you repeat a joke 10,000 times, it doesn't get less homophobic

PeteButtigieg oh, this is just not funny FAIL

PeteButtigieg

PeteButtigieg Want consistency?

PeteButtigieg Finally, some honesty from Buttigieg campaign, I was growing tired of the LGBTCIA bullshit

PeteButtigieg

PeteButtigieg Not funny.

PeteButtigieg Not your best

nicknprince PeteButtigieg Ha!

PeteButtigieg Oh ffs it’s satire folks! I bet even Mayor Pete chuckled.

PeteButtigieg I know your whole angle is posting clearly wrong and comedic news articles.... but this isn’t it. It’s not funny, it’s homophobic.

PeteButtigieg Lmaoo im dead

PeteButtigieg No. I'm done with this shit. Just. No.

PeteButtigieg Hahah bro it's satire bro it's not coz he's gay or anything lmao we progressive bro we do this for all of them it's nothing to do with him being gay but I mean is he gay tho coz he doesn't seem gay I mean I guess maybe but he's not one of the good ones haha - the Onion, 2020

get his fake ass

PeteButtigieg Delete this. Pete was defending himself against homophobic attacks and this is the headline you come up with? Do better. Homophobia isn’t funny.

PeteButtigieg Nothing wrong with a little variety to spice things up.

PeteButtigieg 🤣😵

PeteButtigieg wow, clever......? what happened to you guys, damn, you suck now

PeteButtigieg If a Republican outlet did this everyone would be screaming homophobia. Yet here's Camp Bernie doing it so it's just a 'clever jab'; the basis of which doesn't even make sense. Unfollowing this garbage. Y'all have fun being Blue Trumpers.

PeteButtigieg I can't believe the Onion didn't mention that Marcia is black!

PeteButtigieg Aaw man I didn't except the Onion to to side with the 'He's not really gay' crowd. Woke homophobia is still homophobia.

PeteButtigieg Ok if he adopts and names a kid tad I might not support him any longer. If your name is tad, I’m sorry, but you should probably change it

PeteButtigieg Humor has to be based on something real. He's not my pick but has run a very honest campaign. Cheap.

PeteButtigieg Yeah they pretty much hit the nail on the head there lmao

PeteButtigieg It wouldn't surprise me. Politics uber alles.

PeteButtigieg If he did make that move he would probably be the front runner. He should've dated Rosario Dawson.

PeteButtigieg As a homosexual, I’m amused. This isn’t inappropriate or “disgusting”. It’s funny.

PeteButtigieg Oh. Marcia Marcia Marcia

PeteButtigieg Libs mad at this are missing the point, he would absolutely name his shitty kids Tad and Hayden

PeteButtigieg Out with 'Mayor Pete', in with 'Pansexual Pete'.

PeteButtigieg

PeteButtigieg

PeteButtigieg Obama's picture-perfect family image didn't get him the evangelical vote.

PeteButtigieg LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

PeteButtigieg Luv u too, dad

PeteButtigieg 💀💀💀
