Pete Buttigieg brushes off anti-gay hecklers in Iowa
DES MOINES, Iowa — Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg says President Donald Trump is"kind of like a Chinese finger trap — you know, the harder you pull, the more you get stuck" and warns that Democrats shouldn't get bogged down in trying to"knock him flat with some zinger."
In an interview with The Associated Press, Buttigieg said Iowa — its caucuses produce the first votes of the presidential nominating season —"will be really central to our strategy." Buttigieg has argued that he's uniquely positioned to take on Trump because he can appeal to the white working class voters who left the Democratic Party for the Republican. But in recent days, he's acknowledged he needs to address the lack of racial diversity among supporters at his events.
Buttigieg said that to be able to create a diverse coalition without alienating white working-class voters, issues of racial justice need to be discussed in a unifying way. The impact of his personal life on the campaign was on striking display at both of his Iowa events Tuesday. During a town hall meeting in Fort Dodge, after Buttigieg spoke about the need for marriage equality, a protester stood up and shouted,"You betray your baptism!" He was escorted out.
