Nalin Haley (24), the gifted son of former Governor Nikki Haley, has lashed out against the former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and his family.
The vile commentary came in response to a post on X (formerly Twitter) by political commentator Ed Krassenstein, who had shared an image of Buttigieg with his husband, Chasten, and their two adopted children, adding the sentiment: “In a world of Donald Trumps and Pete Hegseths, be a Pete Buttigieg.”
Haley replied to the post asserting that the former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana, is “not normal.”
He further argued that if more people were like Buttigieg—meaning gay—humankind would “cease to exist,” because, as everyone knows, historically, straight people have been known for their impeccable track record in preventing global existential threats. Clearly, it’s the two-dads household that’s the real emergency.
