In the wild world of right-wing conspiracy theories, a new contender has emerged, and it’s about as far-fetched as they come. The latest claim to capture the imagination of the far-right is that U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg isn’t actually gay. According to this theory, Buttigieg’s entire sexual orientation is a masterful performance orchestrated to catapult him to political stardom.
According to proponents of this outlandish theory, Buttigieg, who served as the mayor of South Bend, Indiana—a city where the LGBT population is about as rare as a unicorn—pretended to be gay as part of an elaborate scheme to enhance his electability. The theory bizarrely contends that his supposed deception was the secret sauce behind his surprisingly successful 2020 Democratic primary run and his subsequent appointment as Transportation Secretary.
The latest vocal advocate of this theory is none other than right-wing podcast host Michael Knowles. On his show, flagged by Media Matters, Knowles—who appears to have gone into the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories with gusto—discussed the latest twist with a blend of skepticism and enthusiasm.
“Put another nickel in the Pete-is-not-gay conspiracy theory jar,” Knowles declared.
