Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his husband should stay out of girls’ bathrooms while speaking at Donald Trump’s rally in Commerce, Georgia, on Saturday.
“You know what? Pete Buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and his bicycles, and he and his husband can stay out of our girl’s bathrooms,” Greene said at the rally.
