Richard Grenell, the openly gay U.S. ambassador to Germany, likened Pete Buttigiegs attempt to portray Vice President Mike Pence as homophobic to a Jussie Smollett-style hate hoax, during a Thursday night Fox News appearance.
The tense back-and-forth between Buttigieg and the former Indiana governor, with whom he often worked in his role as South Bend, Indiana mayor, began earlier this month when he referred to the vice president at a LGBT event as if Pence had a problem with who he is as a gay man.
As if there is nothing creepy about Buttigeig saying how gay he is ...
When I worked for State of Illinois, I was in The Brothers Tavern for a couple of beers after work.
This guy came on the TV news. It seemed he had found his long lost brother. The guy was a designer at the fag florist I made deliveries for as a young man.
I stood up on the rungs of the bar stool and pointed while shouting, "THAT GUY'S A FAGGOT!"
Everyone was saying, "How do you know?" I said, "I used to work with the guy in the same shop. We had different jobs, but it was the same shop."
How ironic is that?
I am lucky to recall any of that because of the meningitis that wiped out much of my memory. ;)
