Fox News tried to undermine Pete Buttigieg’s marriage. His reply is a masterclass in the high road – By Marissa Higgins (Daily Kos) / Jan 6, 2023
The nation is reflecting on and mourning the events of the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., and of course, in anticipation of the anniversary of this stain on national history, Fox News has been eager to question why Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s husband, Chasten Buttigieg, traveled with him overseas.
Huh?
Somehow, yes. That is, in fact, what Fox News host Bret Baier tried to pull on Thursday, Jan. 5. Baier asked why Buttigieg’s husband accompanied him to the 2021 Invictus Games (held in the Netherlands), which are the brainchild of Prince Harry. The games, which were founded in 2014, are for “wounded, injured, and sick” service members and attract international attention and participation.
What’s so unusual about Buttigieg (who is a veteran himself—remember, he served in Afghanistan) bringing his husband? Actually, nothing. And that’s what he expertly breaks down for both Baier and his audience.
