Chasten Buttigieg, husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, said on MSNBC's Deadline that Republicans would like LGBTQ people to “pull the trigger” and end their lives.
In an interview with host Nicole Wallace, Buttigieg described his experience as a gay man:
This requires a lot of sensitivity. It's really hard but for me, growing up to be that person was a miracle. When I was 13, 14 years old and sitting in my parent's basement, I used to stare at my dad's gun cabinet and think this is the only way out. I will never know love. I will never know the family. I will never know the community. I thought I was the only gay person in the world. I felt like the world was asking me to pull the trigger.
Buttigieg then argued that Republicans would actively want to see vulnerable individuals commit suicide:
I feel very much that this election is about one candidate who looks at that kid and says, 'I've got your endorsement,' and another candidate who surrounds himself with people who actively Saying, 'Pull the trigger.' This is what they believe. They don't support LGTBQ people. They don't support families like mine. They are actively doing nothing to make life better or safer for children like mine, families like mine, and many others in this country.
Nonetheless, Buttigieg hasn't all the time performed the great man. In 2022, he mocked Supreme Courtroom Justice Brett Kavanaugh after he was escorted out of a restaurant after being harassed by far-left protesters.
“It looks like he needed some privateness to make his meals choices,” Buttigieg wrote on the time, referencing Kavanaugh's vote in favor of overturning federal rights to abortion.
