Pete Buttigieg threw epic shade at Ron DeSantis and his campaign’s anti-LGBTQ video and people loved it
Ron DeSantis has been criticised after the Republican presidential candidate’s campaign posted an anti-LGBTQ video on Twitter.
The account, called @DeSantisWarRoom, highlighted his rival Donald Trump’s past statements in support of gay rights and, really, don’t feel the need to watch any of it.
To wrap up “Pride Month,” let’s hear from the politician who did more than any other Republican to celebrate it…

"Who are you trying to help?" is a great question. Journalists should ask it more often. https://t.co/O3qLMGjqe3

Buttigieg is a one-man master class in clear, calm, focused – and dare I say righteous -communication.
