Nikki van den Heever, a caucus precinct captain for former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, tried to talk down an Iowa woman who was incensed to find out — in real-time during a caucus after she’d signed a card supporting him — that the candidate is openly gay.
“Are you saying that he has the same-sex partner? Pete?” the woman says in the clip, which was posted to both Twitter and Reddit early Tuesday morning. “Yes,” van den Heever responds.
“Are you kidding?” the woman says, and upon being told Mayor Pete is married, says “Then I don’t want anybody like that in the White House.

How on earth are people voting for candidates about whom they do not know basic facts? Good grief, lady! This is how Democrats win. Talk about stupid. Wow.

Oh my gosh, that whole exchange is hysterical. And, I love that this woman (a) clearly doesn't get out much -- I mean that's practically part of Mayor Peter's title, Gay Mayor Pete (b) she has on several AMY buttons and (c) she and the "sweet, well-meaning" campaign staffer try to get in a debate over Christianity and who's right. (Campaign staffer, "my God says love is love" - LOL. Seriously funny stuff.

Moments like this is why, sometimes, I wonder why they gave women the right to vote. And I say this as a woman.

This woman is a classic democrat low information voter. Buttiplug has pretty open about being gay so how did this woman not receive the news? These are the democrats who will vote in November...god help us.

Anyone who is as unaware as she seems to be ought not to be allowed within a block of a voting booth.

Not living in the real world, that voter is. (I watched one of the Star Wars flicks over the weekend, so I am sounding like Yoda.) But then Democrats don't live in the real world, do they? The Democrat Party is a "diverse" group (or so we're told), so they just live in different fake worlds.
That said . . . what planet was this lady from? Is she part of Project Veritas? LOL

Probably not a student of history and economics either, nor the entire story of the grand American experiment in individual liberty. But she sure as hell has as much to say as anyone about its dismantling.

I think the woman did an awesome job! The young lady on the other hand? We're all Christians and "my god" tells me something different than what's in His Word. But you, old lady, need to search your heart and just love. Clouds and unicorns. Geesh!

The lady does not appear to have very finely tuned gaydar, but we personally know people who do not own a tv and if their radio is on it's tuned to Christian music. So while this woman's reaction is kind of humorous it's not totally out of left field. in our home we're so dialed in to political talk, opinion, news, positions etc etc that it sometimes feels like it dominates our lives. And probably so.

I'm sure Pete's commercials left that little fact out. Here in Colorado, our gay governor had many commercials showing him with his bought and paid for children, but didn't show a single picture of his partner/husband (whatever he is) who now calls himself the "first gentleman" of Colorado. Gaaaack.

There are people out there who do not know the man is gay? Seriously? Have they not been paying attention when he talks about the guy he 'married'? He talks about that all the time. I should not laugh at this, but I cannot stop myself from chuckling.

Another indication that the Democrat constituency groups have a lot of low information voters who have not been paying attention.

For Mayor Pete, being gay is his only claim to fame. How could a Dem voter not be aware of this?

She later said she was backing Elizabeth Warren instead because she couldn't stand being lied to by Mayor Pete.

Not buying it. Either a plant to drive votes to another Democrat or a plant to paint conservatives as intolerant.

#5, you are so right. One thing that makes me ashamed of my gender is that so many women vote for whoever promises to take care of them, instead of whoever promises to keep us free. Stupid broads. I'd give up the vote if it meant I would get my country back.

I don't call that freaking out, and why can't she have her ballot back? Also, was it the young lady who clued her in and then regretted it?

The woman was quoting the Bible...it appears people are no longer afraid of God. I was taught to be afraid to disobey Bible teachings.

#27 I am in love. I'm 83 and have been looking for a chick like you all my life. And I'm a man. A real onec every day. Be more civil if women were removed from the public arena. less vulgarity that's for sure. Men could be men again. Women would have to learn how to cook breakfast and dinner and pack a lunch for her man again. And the world might just become more tranquil.

The mere fact that he is in a gay marriage means he has no respect or understanding of the institution of marriage. Even though she didn't know much about him, as soon as she found out that one detail her instincts kicked in.
The purpose of marriage is a promise for the biological parents to stay together to raise their children.
That's been the purpose for thousands of years and it's been present in just about every culture and religion.
His act is to destroy that meaning. The whole movement is to get rid of marriage. Some of the leaders even said that exactly several years ago at an event carried by CSPAN but subsequently ignored and forgotten by everyone else. The origin of the movement to get rid of marriage goes back to at least the 1920's. Study the writings of Margaret Mead's professors.
