US Tucker Carlson snidely claims Pete Buttigieg took paternity leave to “figure out how to breastfeed” - A certain community proves that it can't take a joke as usual and cries about it being a coordinated homophobic attack

Tucker Carlson snidely claims Pete Buttigieg took paternity leave to “figure out how to breastfeed”​

Rightwing pundits have launched a coordinated attack on the out Transportation Secretary after he and his husband adopted newborn twins.

Fox host Tucker Carlson regularly spews blatantly homophobic and racist drivel during his time on air, but he may have hit a new low on last night’s program. The host claimed out Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had taken paternity leave to “figure out how to breastfeed.”

As part of a blatantly homophobic smear campaign, rightwing pundits and politicians have attacked Buttigieg’s decision to spend time with his husband, Chasten, and their newborn twins, Penelope Rose and Joseph August.

“Pete Buttigieg has been on leave from his job since August after adopting a child. Paternity leave, they call it, trying to figure out how to breastfeed. No word on how that went,” Carlson ranted during a piece on inflation and rising prices.

Fox News provides employees with six weeks of paternity leave – and encourages them to use it. Several of Tucker’s colleagues have praised the perk on-air.

Conservatives are blaming Buttigieg for supply chain issues and backups at the Port of Los Angeles. Now they’re including his children in the blame game and wrapping it all in a big homophobic bow.

“We have the biggest transportation crisis in years and PeteButtigieg is on maternity leave,” GOP House candidate Buzz Patterson tweeted.

“Did the biological woman who actually gave birth to the children of PeteButtigieg and Chasten get paid maternity leave, too?” pundit Todd Starnes asked.

People all over Twitter quickly rallied to Buttigieg’s defense, pointing out the base insult behind Carlson and his cohorts insults and insinuations.

“Pete Buttigieg is an American Hero,” one user wrote. “Tucker Carlson; a homophobic Zero.”

“I took two weeks paternity leave after the birth of each of my kids,” attorney Bradley Moss tweeted. “Not all of us were raised among the uber-wealthy who ship their kids off to boarding school. Some of us take time off to care for our kids.”

Lmfao. I wouldn’t be surprised if this current administration did send their male staffers home to do this - how sad

 

[Thumb Butler]

Tucker Carlson is cancer. He's such a lolcow, even if it's all done for views and money.

 

[MediocreMilt]

Gays butthurt.

I mean actually yeah, if I was the Secretary of Transportation, on maternity leave two months and noting everything to do with my job was actually going to shit, I‘d return to fucking work.

You’re the ones who said women could have penises and men could get pregnant. So as far as I’m concerned, Tucker Carlson is the most progressive news host on television.

Edit: And what the hell is up with that picture at the top? Are they trying to justify Bootychug hiding from the shipping crisis by making it look like he and his husband squeezed two babies out of their anuses?

And the grooming cycle begins anew.

Homosexuals shouldn't be able to adopt children, least of all because there plenty of willing straight couples able to do so.

About fifteen years ago, this would have been called "A JOKE" and most people would have laughed.

Because it is a freaking joke.

Homosexuals shouldn't be able to adopt children, least of all because there plenty of willing straight couples able to do so.

We had a candidate that supported that when asked if he agreed with gay adoption: "first, let's make sure all straight couples who are waiting years for a kid get theirs and then let's follow with the rest of families."

Gays butthurt.

In more ways than one.

Everyone deserves maternity or paternity leave and Pete being at work wouldn’t solve supply chain issues caused by lockdowns.

Guy deserves time with his kids and those disgusted with him are sperging out in such a way it demeans those ridiculing the odd lockdown measures.

or maybe you can't combine a job like secretary of transportation with having *newborn twins*

 

[usernames can change now!]

A collection of tweets isn't called an "article", it's called a "garbage can".

Nah, everyone deserves time off for kids.

 

[Wargarbl]

Massive worldwide logistics clusterfuck, exacerbated by US port and trucking issues.

US Transportation Secretary interviews: "OMG you adopted as a gay couple, so stunning and brave!!1"

Anything to cover yet another massive Biden admin failing, I guess. Lugenpresse gonna lugenpresse.

no. you can't combine newborns and important jobs. everyone needs to stop pretending.

I support his paternity leave wholeheartedly. This utter buffoon being actually present for a crisis like we're going through right now could only make things worse. Take as much time as you need Pete.

I’m getting really fucked off with surrogacy pics where the ‘parents’ are sat on a hospital bed, complete with ID wristbands, as though they shat them out themselves and their rent-a-uterus doesn’t exist.
