Chasten Buttigieg Comes To Pete's Rescue After Interview About His Awkward Skin Care Routine Goes Viral

Running for President has kept South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg very busy.

So busy, it seems, that he doesn't have time for the high-quality skincare we all deserve!


During Cosmopolitan's "Candidates Come to Cosmo" series, Buttigieg was asked the signature question: What is your skincare routine?

His answer was ignorant enough to give Jonathan Van Ness a stroke.

It turns out most of Buttigieg's skincare routine involves soap and aftershave.

See the full exchange here:

When Buttigieg asks if that's bad, Jessica Pels, who's interviewing him, gives him the full lowdown.

"You're supposed to moisturize. You're running a campaign for president. I'm running a campaign for getting men to moisturize."

She sent the candidate home with some moisturizers to help him in the future.

But shortly after the interview was published, Buttigieg's husband, Chasten, responded with a tweet of his own.

Chasten would follow up his initial chastening with a few other reassurances.


Twitter was grateful someone was there to make sure Buttigieg is taking care of his skin.


Reading the story made many suspect Elizabeth Warren had a skincare plan for America.

There were some Twitter users who wished the story would disappear.



Some readers felt they could empathize with Buttigieg just a little too closely for comfort.


Skincare aficionados had to try and stay calm while reading the candidate's responses.

If only we still lived in a world where this was the biggest political story to be reporting on...

Remember, Pete: listen to your husband!

You may have a plan for the country, but he's got a plan for your skin.

Waves of criticism have been leveled at the participants for their out-of-touch statements about the trip, the expense and pollution of which have struck many as a "let them eat cake" moment in these times.

Pre-K Teacher Goes Viral For Her Clapback After Nancy Mace's 'LGBTQ' Alphabet Gripe

South Carolina MAGA Republican Representative Nancy Mace has used her hatred to make a name for herself, and "transphobe" and "TERF" are an integral part of that name.

If Mace isn't spouting transphobic slurs on the floor of Congress or in public appearances in the Midwest, she's posting her hate online.

Someone Flew A 'Trump Country' Banner Over Bernie And AOC's Packed Rally—And AOC Clapped Back Hard

Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had the perfect response after one of President Donald Trump's supporters flew a banner reading "Folsom Is Trump Country" over a Northern California rally she held with her colleague, Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders.

She brushed off a warning that they were entering “Trump country” as the crowd swelled in deep-red Folsom, a Republican stronghold nestled in Representative Kevin Kiley’s district. Just to drive the point home, a small plane buzzed above the rally, trailing a banner in bold red letters: “Folsom Is Trump Country.”

MAGA Senator Gets An Earful From Angry Constituents During Iowa Town Hall—And It's Pure Fire

Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley was criticized by his "pissed" constituents during a town hall in Fort Madison this week who demanded why he hasn’t taken stronger action to hold President Donald Trump and his administration accountable as tensions escalate with the Supreme Court.

Those in attendance were galvanized by the Trump administration’s refusal to comply with a unanimous Supreme Court order instructing the White House to “facilitate” the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Garcia was mistakenly deported to a prison in El Salvador known for its reputation for torture.
