WATCH: Buttigieg Voter Asks to Take Vote Back After Finding out He’s Gay
An Iowa voter who had sought to support former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg in the state’s troubled caucuses on Monday changed her mind after learning he’s gay.
A Buttigieg precinct captain in Cresco, Iowa, is seen in video posted online telling the caucusgoer that a candidate’s sexuality shouldn’t matter after the woman asked to get her support card back. . .
In the two-minute clip of the interaction, the caucusgoer is heard asking, “Are you saying that he has a same-sex partner, Pete?”
@PeteButtigieg this is it. This is what it's all about. I have known Geert for many years. I had no idea that she was a homophobe. @NikkiHeever is a wonderful example of Cresco Iowa. I thank her with my whole heart. @Sara_Goldstein @BrendanMcP https://t.co/s1ueExjmaf

She is told that yes, Buttigieg is married to a man. Heever tells the woman that it is “common knowledge” after the caucusgoer said she had never heard that before.
“Are you kidding? Then I don’t want anybody like that in the White House. So can I have my card back?” the voter asks. (Read more from “Buttigieg Voter Asks to Take Vote Back After Finding out He’s Gay” HERE)
