“Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions,” Chasten Buttigieg tweeted late last week in response to the story. Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Mayor-cum-Secretary Pete defended a tweet from his husband that referenced Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh being protested against outside a Morton’s Steakhouse in Washington, DC. Which is surely why the Biden administration keeps deploying him like Frank Capra to combat the Leni Riefenstahls hired by Rupert Murdoch. Wholesome and cornfed, Pete and Chasten are as all-American as if Wally Cleaver had grown up to marry Opie Taylor. A married gay Episcopalian couple, they adopted two children - who Pete then took paternity leave to look after. That is, of course, because he is one of them. Long one of the best communicators in the Biden camp - and certainly one of the best at talking to the half of the country who didn’t vote for Biden and are most likely to turn on Fox News - Buttigieg has that je ne sais quoi that speaks to heartland voters. Calm but forthright, respectful but assertive, Buttigieg gave a masterclass in how to respond to Trumpian talking points.
