'Oiled-Up Shirtless Bodybuilders' - Buttigieg Goes On Bizarre Rant After SCOTUS Decision

Hey ladies and gentlemen, Carmine Sabia here for Explain America and Transportation Secretary

Pete Buttigieg kind of made himself look really ridiculous today, folks. Before we get started, please make sure you like, comment, share and subscribe

You've heard me say that a million times. It is super important, so please do that

We really appreciate it. Mr. Buttigieg appeared on the CNN program State of the Union today and he wanted to

talk about the recent Supreme Court decision regarding the Colorado web designer who won

her case at the Supreme Court and said she did not have to make wedding websites for

gay couples. Now this case is very curious because unlike the Christian baker who did not want to make

a cake for a gay wedding, there was an actual person who requested a cake and an actual

Christian baker. Now this case is really different. This is a woman who says she wants to start a website building business, but because of

Colorado's public accommodation law, she's afraid to because it would force her to make

websites for gay couples. So there was no gay couple at the center of this case that has requested a website and

she didn't even have a business making websites. So that makes it really strange and really strange the Supreme Court actually took the case

Be that as it may, they found that she would have a constitutional right, as would any

Christian, to not have to do the gay web design. Now I think this will step in and branch into the gay wedding cakes, photographing a gay

wedding, DJing a gay wedding, all different kinds of things like that because these are

artistic expressions and to do them at a gay wedding as a Christian or a Muslim or any

religion that would oppose this union, you shouldn't be forced to do things against

your will. It would be the same pretty much as Justice Roberts actually said, as if somebody went

to a gay web designer and asked them to design an anti-gay marriage website and they were

forced to do it. So it's about free expression of art. But as he was talking about this, host Dana Bash showed him a video of Florida Governor

Ron DeSantis juxtaposing himself against Donald Trump, showing that Donald Trump supported

LGBTQ rights more than he did. And well, Buttigieg had a really, really weird response to that

Let's take a look. Mr. Secretary, Ron DeSantis' campaign tweeted a video attacking President Trump for his

past support for LGBTQ Americans, touted DeSantis' own record of restricting their rights

I want you to look and listen to just part of that long video. I cannot think of anything more horrifying

It really has shut down drag. It has produced some of the harshest, most draconian laws that literally threaten trans existence

What's your reaction to that video? You know, I'm going to choose my words carefully, partly because I'm appearing as secretary

so I can't talk about campaigns. And I'm going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting

up a video that splices images of you in between oiled up shirtless bodybuilders and

just get to the bigger issue that is on my mind whenever I see this stuff in the policy

space, which is, again, who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off

And what public policy problems do you get up in the morning thinking about how to solve

You know, we're focused as an administration on how to get things done to make people better off

We're spending my week traveling around the country to places that are benefiting from

infrastructure funding. We were in Appalachia in an eastern Kentucky community that's been wiped out by floods

repeatedly and we're bringing them highway funding that's going to help them not only

improve the road, but also improve the dam and protect them from floods in the future

Few weeks ago, we were in North Dakota where there's a railroad crossing that was a community

headache for decades. And thanks to President Biden's bipartisan infrastructure funds, we finally have the

resources to do something about it. We're going to make that better and have it not be a problem holding back first responders

These are the kinds of problems that most of us got into government, politics and public

service in order to work on. And I just don't understand the mentality of somebody who gets up in the morning thinking

that he's going to prove his worth by competing over who can make life hardest for a hard

hit community that is already so vulnerable in America. So I'm very curious why oiled up sweaty bodybuilders was the first thing that came to Buttigieg's mind

It kind of tells me where his mind is maybe and, you know, Pete, a cold shower maybe might

help you out. I don't know. But as far as DeSantis, I think that ad was a huge fail

I think most people do support, you know, LGBTQ people having the same rights as everybody else

Conservatives, liberals, independents, I think most of us support them having the same rights

And so for him to say, I'm going to go to war with the LGBT community, as that ad pretty

much says, I think was a huge misstep. And really, I mean, his campaign has had a lot of missteps lately

This is just the latest one. But yeah, Buttigieg, get your mind out of the gutter, bro

Folks, I want you to comment below on what you think of this whole situation

Please let me know. Also, make sure, again, as I said, you like, you share, and you subscribe

Again, it really helps us out and we really do appreciate that so much

Folks, I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys

God bless you. Take care, everybody
