The husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttgieg says people must hold people accountable for misogynistic and homophobic comments.
KEENE, N.H. — The husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Thursday he hasn't heard from Mike Pence since the former vice president mocked his family but will continue to hold him accountable for his words.
"Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression," Pence said Saturday at the Gridiron Dinner. "I spoke up because we all have an obligation to hold people accountable for when they say something wrong, especially when it's misogynistic, especially when it's homophobic, and I just don't take that when it's towards my family, and I don't think anyone else would, especially when you bring a very small, medically fragile child into it," he said.
