The 37-year-old South Bend mayor pulled no punches when discussing Indiana's former governor: 'How could he allow himself to become the cheerleader of the porn star presidency?”
Democratic presidential candidate and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Sunday blasted Vice President Mike Pence — the former governor of Buttigieg’s home state, Indiana — for becoming “the cheerleader of the porn star presidency” after enacting policies of “social extremism” on the non-federal level.
“I mean, if you were conservative and from an older generation, and you were brought up by people you trusted to believe that it was morally wrong to be, for example, in a same-sex marriage, and then the pace of change has happened so quickly,” he said. “I’ve benefited from the pace of that change. But I also understand how disorienting it must be for people to have gone through that.”

We weren’t sure what it would do to my political future in a socially conservative community. I wound up getting re-elected with 80 percent of the vote.”
