Chasten Buttigieg had the shadiest reaction to Rush Limbaugh's death

Chasten Buttigieg had a lowkey brilliant response to news that Rush Limbaugh passed away yesterday.

Limbaugh, who was a far-right radio host since the 1980s, attacked LGBTQ people and was openly disgusted by gay men throughout his career.

One of the more recent targets of Limbaugh’s homophobia was Pete Buttigieg, who kissed his husband Chasten on camera when he announced his 2020 presidential campaign.

On his radio show, Limbaugh became obsessed with that kiss, mentioning it multiple times on several episodes. He said, “America’s still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage president,” asked how parents will explain it “to their children,” and explained that Democrats wanted to nominate Buttigieg so that he could debate Donald Trump and “ram it down Trump’s throat” by kissing Chasten on stage.
