He told that the former governor of did “not consider himself to be a racist.”
“I mean, he’s written that cigarettes don’t kill and he seems to think that the universe was created a few thousand years ago and that people like me get up in the morning and decide to be gay,” Buttigieg explained.
“But I think when you come on board with a project like the Trump campaign, at best complicit in the process. This is the reason for flourishing and the resurgence of white nationalism in our midst,” Buttigieg added.
