Pete Buttigieg dismissed President Donald Trump's compliments about his marriage to a man, remarking that he'd rather see Trump enact actual policies which benefit LGBTQ Americans.
South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg dismissed President Donald Trump's recent positive comment about Buttigieg's marriage to Chasten Glezman, remarking that he'd rather see Trump enact actual policies which benefit LGBTQ Americans.
"I think it’s absolutely fine. I do," Trump said when asked about Buttigieg and Glezman in a Fox News Channel interview set to air Sunday evening. "I think it’s great. I think that’s something that perhaps some people will have a problem with. I have no problem with it whatsoever. I think it’s good.”Buttigieg told NPR on the presidential campaign trail in Iowa that Trump's actions toward the LGBTQ community speak louder than his words.
"What somebody says in an interview is one thing. How they govern is another," he added."So much attention is given to whatever remarkably outrageous and vicious and insulting thing that the president said." Aside from mocking Buttigieg's surname and appearance — dubbing the younger man"Alfred E. Neuman" in a recent interview, Trump and Buttigieg haven't sniped at each other as much as the South Bend mayor has with fellow Hoosier, Vice President Mike Pence.
