I knew that Pete Buttigieg was gay, and I'm from India.

Message to all voters regardless of affiliation: If you do not even know the most basic and well published facts of the people you are voting on, you should not be voting.

The lady a few years ago, " Nobody told me Barack Obama's Black ". LOL.

"How come this has never been brought out before?" Ma'am, Mayor Pete stated it almost at the beginning of his campaign. That's the problem. People don't even listen and yet still make decisions. That's why we are where we are right now... 😒

This lady is an accurate representation of the american voter base

[greysilverback]

If Pete wins by one vote this lady will go full on joker.

Imagine being the only human being in earth who doesn’t know pete is gay

[kexia]

This is the proof that people don’t even know who they are voting for. All a candidate need is some feel good speeches and supported MSM with coverage.

[cruzfam]

This is why y’all should educate yourselves before making any decisions.

[JL-usdp]

Need to research each candidate before you vote lol

[debthompson]

It just goes to show how ignorant some voters really are when it comes to knowing facts.

I love this women.

“I didn’t know he was gay!”

“I mean it’s common knowledge...” 😂😂😂😂

If that's a problem for her, she's probably in the wrong party.

[garretflood]

She's upset because of her faith? She's voting for the party that championed gay marriage and she's upset that the candidate is gay and married?

[keithkuckler]

OMG these are the people who get first say in our election. No hope.

[ivalles]

Another reason to end the Iowa caucus lol

[laa]

THIS IS PRICELESS lmao.. I wonder just how little she knows about Pete

[FreakE]

This is the way this type of conversation should be had. So appreciate the way the precinct captain presented her viewpoint without judgement.

I think the lady who works for Buttigieg and is talking with this lady deserves two gold stars, not just one. She was perfect in her exchange with this obviously prejudice woman.
