Homophobic Iowa Caucus Goer Went Ballistic When She Found Out Pete Buttigieg is Gay: WATCH

An Iowa Caucus goer went ballistic on a Pete Buttigieg precinct captain when she learned he was gay and wanted to change her vote.

Media Lite reports: Nikki van den Heever, a caucus precinct captain for former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg, tried to talk down an Iowa woman who was incensed to find out — in real-time during a caucus after she’d signed a card supporting him — that the candidate is openly gay. “Are you saying that he has the same-sex partner? Pete?” the woman says in the clip, which was posted to both Twitter and Reddit early Tuesday morning.

“Yes,” Van den Heever responded.

“Are you kidding?. Then I don’t want anybody like that in the White House. So can I have my card back?”

“I don’t know, you signed it. We could go ask,” Van den Heever says, “The whole point of it is, though, he’s a human being, right? Just like you and me and it shouldn’t really matter…”

“Well he better read the Bible,” the woman — who is wearing buttons in support of Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar — says.

“He does, and he says that God doesn’t choose a political party because…” Van den Heever says, as the woman interrupts to ask, “Why does it say in the Bible that a man should marry a woman then?”

“Well I totally respect your viewpoint on this, I so totally do, but I think that we were not around when the Bible was written,” Van den Heever replies.

“How come this is never been brought out before?” the woman asks him.

Sigh.
