DETROIT — Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said he's raising his children to "have better values" than Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, who called him a "weak little girl" on Twitter earlier this week.
"If she wants to talk about little girls, Chasten and I are raising a little girl and a little boy. And we are raising them to have better values than the chairwoman," he said. "The rest is politics."
Buttigieg is the nation's first openly gay, Senate-confirmed Cabinet secretary and a former officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve. The Buttigieges announced last August they had adopted twin babies.
