Pence Doubles Down on Homophobic Buttigieg Joke: It Was a Roast, Guys
Mike Pence is digging in his heels on a so-called joke about Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg he delivered during a black-tie dinner in Washington, D.C. last weekend.
The former vice president came under fire after remarking on Buttigieg’s decision to take two months of “maternity leave” to look after his newborn twins shortly after he and his husband adopted them in 2021.
On Thursday, Pence spoke to reporters about the crack during an appearance at the Cheshire County Republican dinner in New Hampshire.
