Buttigieg has said that his marriage to his husband has brought him closer to God. Pence has faced scrutiny from LGBT activist groups over his opposition to gay marriage and his support for a 'religious freedom' bill.

Vice President Mike Pence said Wednesday that Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg"knows better" days after the South Bend, Indiana, mayor made waves by critiquing Pence's record on LGBT equality.

"But I get it. You know, it's look, again, 19 people running for president on that side in a party that's sliding off to the left. And they're all competing with one another for how much more liberal they can be," Pence said. Buttigieg has skyrocketed to the front of the Democratic pack since announcing the formation of an exploratory committee in late January. Buttigieg, an Afghanistan war veteran, has said that his marriage to his husband has brought him closer to God.

"But that doesn't mean that we're we're critical of anyone else who has a different point of view," he said.

Pence should know better than to offer up some vacuous response absent of substance. It just makes him look like the guy Buttigieg made him out to be. A hypocrite with no moral ground.

That’s not an answer....that’s just a brush off...you know better

It's so blatantly obvious that Pence is closet gay. No one talks about hating gay people so much without being gay. It's called self-loathing, and a lot of gay Christians will admit that they went through this phase before coming out. carlquintanilla jimcramer

The mayor criticized his religious beliefs. Get your facts right fake news. Pence did not critique his sexualitity.

Does VP realize that people who live in or are from Indiana have the ability to remember things?

There will never be 100% equality ever in anything so these ppl can get over it deal with it and move on.

Pence should know that his hatred and bigotry are unacceptable. He should know better. That he doesn't see anything wrong marks him as unitellugent. Subject to propaganda. His beliefs preclude him serving.

Buttigieg to Pence: 'Your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator'Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg on Sunday again took on Vice President Mike Pence -- whose stances on LGBTQ issues have faced criticism from gay rights activists -- saying that if Pence has 'a problem with who I am, your problem is not with me -- your quarrel, sir, is with my creator.' Turns out old Petie is the overly drunk guy at the bar who thinks every one keeps insulting him when they aren't even talking to him. If the sodomite actually believed the words from his mouth, he wouldn't persist in a life of abomination. Q.E.D.
