Chasten Buttigieg Claps Back At MTG For Suggesting Gay Stepmom Is 'Not A Mother' During Hearing

Chasten Buttigieg called Marjorie Taylor Greene 'anti-family' for her crack that AFT President Randi Weingarten, a lesbian 'mother by marriage,' is 'not a mother.'

Educator, author and activist Chasten Buttigieg—the husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg criticized Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene after she drew sharp criticism for homophobic comments made toward Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).

Greene, known for her controversial and often homophobic statements, grilled Weingarten on her credentials to offer advice about classrooms or children, despite Weingarten having worked primarily as a full-time teacher in the 1990s. At one stage, Greene questioned whether Weingarten was a mother and repeatedly demanded to know if she was a medical doctor.


When Weingarten, who is gay and married to Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum, stated that she is a "mother by marriage," Greene insisted she is "not a mother" and should admit to being little more than a "political activist."

In a Twitter post that features a video of the exchange, Buttigieg—the father of two children—called out Greene with the following message:

"They can continue to show us how anti-family they are and we can push for a country more incluive, helpful, and kind."
"Anyway, off to daycare pick up."

You can see his tweet below.

Many appreciated Buttigieg's words and echoed his criticisms of Greene.



The Buttigiegs have regularly been the target of homophobic attacks from members of the Republican Party, most notably from Greene, who is one of the more vocally anti-LGBTQ+ members of Congress.

Last year, for instance, she was criticized after she launched into an attack against Buttigieg and his husband Chasten, demanding they “stay out of our girls' bathrooms" and suggested that they are both sexual predators.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
