Chasten Buttigieg has had enough of Rep. Lauren Boebert. Over the weekend, the Colorado lawmaker issued a Father’s Day tweet in honor of American dads.
“The role of the father is absolutely fundamental to the family and to society as a whole,” she said, “On this Father’s Day, I want to send out a shoutout of gratitude to all the dads across America!”

Chasten, husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, thought it a good time to remind Boebert of how she’d mocked Pete’s parenting skills when they became new dads.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
He re-posted her tweet and responded, “Our two-month-old son was on a ventilator at the children’s hospital when you attacked my husband for being with his family. I watched him take calls and Zooms from our hospital room all day, managing crisis after crisis while our son’s heart monitor beeped in the background.”

Chasten and Pete became dads to twins via adoption in early September. A couple of months later, on Halloween, it emerged that their son, Gus had needed to stay in hospital overnight because of health concerns.
Around the same time, Boebert posted a video in which she lambasted Buttigieg for taking paternity leave, joking that he was trying to learn how to “chest feed” his kids.
“The guy was not working! Because why? He was trying to figure out how to chest feed,” she said.
Clearly, Chasten has not forgotten that criticism.
Besides her Father’s day tweet, Boebert also made headlines earlier this week when it emerged she had written a letter to Pete Buttigieg asking him to consider awarding funding to a bridge project in her home state.
In March, Boebert voted against Joe Biden’s Infrastructure bill, describing it as “garbage”. Three months later, she’s now writing to Buttigieg as Transportation Secretary asking if some of the $1.2trillion of funding can go to her state. Many were quick to point out the hypocrisy.

Chasten’s tweet has had over 180k likes at the time of writing.
Here are a few of the responses.
My God what a horrible woman she is. Gratitude for your husband happy your baby is doing ok now.

Lauren jumped out of a moving ATV she was drinking and driving and left her son, sister-in-law and dog inside, she has no room to talk about anyone’s parenting skills.

Please don’t mistake Lauren Boebert for a genuine Christian or even a decent person. She has proven time and time again that she is neither. I’m sorry you had to experience such nonsense.

Chasten, having just spent a month watching a dear friend on a vent, I cannot imagine the agony you and the Secretary must have been undergoing. I hope all is well with you and your beloved children and husband.

Chasten marked his first Father’s Day as a dad with a posting to Instagram on the weekend. He said, “There’s something about fatherhood you just can’t understand until it happens to you. I never knew how challenging and rewarding it would be, but I’ve come to learn that even though each day feels as if your heart lives on the outside of your chest, the most beautiful and indescribable moments happen somewhere between totally in love and absolutely terrified.”

Isn’t she the one with the Husband that got arrested for exposing himself to teenagers? Yeah, real family values there.

Well that and she was apparently a sex worker for several years, after having her first several kids, and allegedly slept with and was paid by Ted Cruz for her “services.”

It is none of her business either.

If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much.

Chasten and Pete got this!
Lauren doubtful
Mr. Stadnick
The woman has the same intellectual capacity as a houseplant. She should be the shame of Colorado but apparently the electorate find her to be an excellent example of Colorado’s bigotry.
Max
she has zero redeeming qualities, such childish behavior taunting a father over his supposed absence from work. typical jump to a conclusion about what was going on without actually doing the work to find out.
The real Bruce
A picture is worth a thousand words. The pictures of Chasten and Pete with Gus and Penelope say it all. Love Love Love! And then Boebert with her gun toting off-spring for the Holidays. Parenting 101 is something Boe-Boe seems to have missed!

Just remember that karma is real. It will come back at you four fold of what you dished out. She should seriously consider sealing herself in a survivalist bunker forever before it catches up with her!!!
