Former Trump lawyer calls Pete & Chasten Buttigeig “sexual perverts” because they’re gay

Former Trump legal advisor Jenna Ellis called out Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten Buttigieg “sexual perverts” because they adopted two children.

Ellis was responding to a tweet from someone who said he was “saddened” that Mike Pence mocked Buttigieg with a gay joke for taking time off from work to care for his sick child.

Jenna Ellis, member of the “elite task force” behind Trump’s electoral coup attempt, thinks LGBTQ people are “vile and abominable.”

“This is Pete Buttigieg and his family, [heart emoji] if you support them!” the Twitter user wrote.

“This isn’t a family,” Ellis responded. “It’s two sexual perverts and a child that deserves an actual family: a mom and a dad.”

“Children’s rights matter. Kids are not commodities,” she wrote, likely a reference to how the Buttigieges adopted their twins.

She should lose her account for this. Bigotry is not an opinion. It’s violence. pic.twitter.com/PVlYmvU0VT

She got pushback on Twitter.

Since you're so concerned about two people raising a child you don't have to take care of, how many kids have you adopted, exactly?

@JennaEllisEsq , luckily in America you are allowed your opinion. I want you to know having a "mom and dad" doesnt mean a healthy family. I had what you define as a "proper" family, however, i was beat, burned, and shot at as a child. Those two love their child and that is what… https://t.co/ykrS06iDce

They seem much happier than you.

For obvious reasons.

Hate is all you know and what you sell. FYI Jesus was a single man at 33, unheard of at that time, who called John his “best beloved” and traveled with 12 young men. He never said a word against homosexuality. He may have been gay.

You're almost 40, single, and childless. Spend less time worrying about other people's happy, loving families and get your own stuff in order.
