\u2018There Goes Your Base\u2019: Trump Mocked for Saying He\u2019d Vote for a Gay Presidential Candidate<\/b>

Days after awarding a Medal of Freedom to homophobic bigot Rush Limbaugh<\/a>, Donald Trump claimed he would vote for a gay<\/a> presidential candidate. <\/p>\n

Politico<\/a> reports: In a wide-ranging interview on Fox News personality Geraldo Rivera’s podcast, the president also said he thinks it’s possible that American voters could one day elect a gay<\/a> candidate to the White House. “I think so. I think there would be some that wouldn’t, and I wouldn’t be among that group to be honest with you,” Trump told Rivera, pointing to Buttigieg’s top-two finishes in both of the first two Democratic presidential contests. “I think that, yes, I think that it doesn’t seem to be hurting Pete Boot-edge-edge as you say, as you would call<\/a> him,” he argued, using the phonetic pronunciation that Buttigieg’s campaign has deployed. “It doesn’t seem to be hurting him very much but … there would be a group that probably wouldn’t. But you or I wouldn’t be in that group.”<\/p>\n

Back in November, Human Rights Campaign President Alphonso David called Trump<\/a> “the worst president on LGBTQ issues ever.” <\/p>\n

He only said this to bring attention to Mayor Buttigieg’s sexual preference. @realDonaldTrump<\/a> is such a racist bigot.<\/p>\n
