According to a source familiar with the matter told The Washington Blade, former Vice President Mike Pence made homophobic remarks about U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg at the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington, D.C. Saturday night.
During his speech at the 138th annual event, Pence said Buttigieg “took maternity leave” following the birth of his and his husband Chasten’s twins in 2021, adding that the country subsequently “got postpartum depression,” referencing the ongoing issues over problems with U.S. airlines and massive delays and cancellations that have plagued air travel.
According to the source, Pence also claimed his pronouns were “thou” and “thine.”
The Associated Press Chief White House Correspondent, Zeke Miller, reported that the remarks referencing the Transportation Secretary were not well received in the room.
