Tucker Carlson Calls Pete Buttigieg a 'Fake Gay Guy,' Vows 'Very Specific' Sex Questions on Podcast

The exchange came in a segment about President Trump's effort to dismantle DEI.

Overview

  • During a conversation with Michael Knowles, Carlson claimed Buttigieg is not gay and cited a former producer’s opinion as support.
  • He said he wants to interview Buttigieg and ask "very specific questions about gay sex" to test whether he can answer.
  • The comments reprise similar assertions Carlson made in 2022 and 2024 questioning Buttigieg’s sexuality.
  • Mediaite and TMZ published the clip and reported that Buttigieg has not publicly responded to the latest remarks.
  • Coverage contrasted the allegation with Buttigieg’s public biography, including coming out in 2015, marrying Chasten in 2018, having two children, and serving as transportation secretary.
