'He seems fixated on it': Pete Buttigieg on Speaker Johnson's comments about gays

Pete Buttigieg and homosexuality are living rent-free in House Speaker Mike Johnson's head.

The newly minted House Speaker Johnson from Louisiana who took over the reins after his predecessor Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) was ousted is credited with penning the foreword of author Scott McKay's book, titled "The Revivalist Manifesto" that reportedly propagates debunked conspiracy theories and homophobic leanings.

It also appears to target Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg by calling the former Indiana mayor "Gay Mayor Pete Buttigieg" and a “queer choice” for Biden's cabinet position, according to CNN.

When asked during an appearance on CNN's "Out Front" with Erin Burnett about his response to the commentary in this book, Buttigieg was appalled by how low the attacks go to knock his character.
