Chasten Buttigieg shreds Mike Pence with one savage truthful tweet

When White House Deputy Press Secretary Judd Deere took to Twitter for a half-baked denial of Vice President Mike Pence’s notorious anti-LGBTQ stances, Chasten Buttigieg wasn’t having any of it.

Buttigieg, who’s spouse, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is the only out presidential candidate, snapped back on Twitter with one savage – and truthful – tweet. The would-be First Spouse has become a Twitter phenomenon with hundreds of thousands of followers eager for his sweet and witty glimpses of the couple’s lives.

But when Deere randomly decided to tell the internet that Pence isn’t homophobic by reminding everyone that he is, he chose one of the dumbest and most ridiculous defenses possible. Pence is willing to eat at the same table as gay people.

“For all of you who still think our @VP is anti-gay, I point you to his and the @SecondLady’s schedule tomorrow where they will join Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar and his partner Dr. Matthew Barrett for lunch in Ireland,” Deere tweeted with a copy of the Vice President’s official schedule.

He is the only thing stopping an impeachment. Reminds me of Nixon calling Agnew assasination insurance.

He can't go unchaperoned with women or gays because of his manly aura.

Because he sat down and ate a meal with a gay dignitary from another country? Oh look! Lurch's even less animated brother didn't have a public breakdown over a meal with a gay man! Trump should give him the presidential medal of freedom!!!111!!
