Buttigieg responds to Trump supporting his marriage: 'I'm more interested in policies that affect LGBTQ people'
By Justin Wise - 05/19/19 12:37 PM EDT


South Bend, Ind., mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said in an interview on Sunday he's more interested in White House policies that affect LGBTQ people than anything President Trump has to say about his marriage.

"That's nice," Buttigieg, who is openly gay, said of Trump's comment while speaking with the NPR Politics Podcast and Iowa Public Radio. "I'm more interested in policies that affect LGBTQ people."

Buttigieg on Sunday was critical of the idea that Trump's comments even amounted to news, saying that the "the expectations are so low that he made" headlines "by saying something that wasn't viciously insulting."

"What somebody says in an interview is one thing. How they govern is another," Buttigieg said. "So much attention is given to whatever remarkably outrageous and vicious and insulting thing that the president said."

He called on Trump to support a measure that extends civil rights protections to LGBTQ people.

The Trump administration has said that the measure, The Equality Act, is problematic, NPR reported. Buttigieg said it was a "shame" that Trump likely wouldn't support the bill.

His answer to tRump's "support" of Pete's marriage is spot on.
