Donald Trump Jr. Calls Pete Buttigieg the 'Gay Guy' in Homophobic Rant
Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Donald Trump Jr. just can't hide his homophobia. During a Wednesday night interview on the Newsman show "Prime News," Jr. was asked to comment on the Biden administration's handling of the train derailment incident in Ohio earlier this month.
He then proceed to launch into a homophobic tirade against Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, calling him the "gay guy," the NY Daily News reported.
Serving up his comments by saying that "Joe (Biden) doesn't give a crap" and "couldn't care less" about East Palestine, Ohio, Trump Jr. then attempted to lay into Buttigieg's qualifications for his cabinet position.
"You know, Pete has no business in that position," he said. "But, you know, he's the guy who had no business running for president but they let him do that cause he's gay and they check off a box and then he didn't win, so [they said] 'he's the gay guy, so we gotta give him something, let's make him transportation secretary.'"
Talk about someone who has literally no business at all accusing someone else of having none!
"Plus the time he spent chest-feeding while we were in the midst of a supply chain crisis," Junior added, referring to Buttigieg's paternity leave in late 2021.
However, Lincoln Project clarified the gravity of the train derailment in Ohio with a tweet: "Trump shredded the safety regulations that could have kept East Palestine residents safe and then rolled into town with Trump water and a campaign slogan," the Project tweeted. "He's as useless now as he was as a president."
Checkmate.
