Fox News Tucker Carlson on Wednesday went after Pete Buttgieg yet again, claiming the transportation secretary wouldnt even admit that he was gay until several years ago and lied about it for reasons he has never been asked to explain.
Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and a 2020 Democratic candidate for president, has explained. He explained in the 2015 article he wrote in the South Bend Tribune when he came out to the public. And he explained again on multiple other occasions, revealing, among other reasons, his fear that acknowledging who he was was going to be the ultimate, career-ending professional setback. Buttigieg joined the military in 2009, when the discriminatory Dont ask, dont tell policy ban on openly gay and lesbian service members was still in effect.

Carlson brought up Buttigieg while discussing the response to the mass shooting at an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Saturday night that left five people dead and at least 18 others injured.
Pete Buttigieg, of course, couldnt pass up a moment like this, Carlson said. Its not like Pete Buttigieg wants to talk about how things are going over at the Transportation Department, which he supposedly runs.

Actually yeah, I guess I can believe Tucker and his audience are that stupid.
