Buttigieg Roasts Question On Traveling With Husband

“I led a presidential delegation to support American wounded warriors and injured service members – the Invictus Games as has been tradition for many years.

“I led the American delegation as one of the great honors of my time in this job. And the diplomatic protocol on a presidential delegation is that the principal is often accompanied by their spouse. It was a great trip. Incredible.

“Here’s what I want you to understand. Before me, it was the secretary of the Army under President Trump who took that trip with his wife.

“Before that, it was Mrs. Trump as First Lady who went to the Invictus Games. Before that, Mrs. Obama did the same thing.

“And I guess the question on my mind is, if no one’s raising questions about why Secretary Esper and his wife led that delegation, as well they should have, then why is it any different when it’s me and my husband?” – Sec. Pete Buttigieg, to Fox’s Bret Baier.
