Out gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is under scrutiny again, this time from former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Carlson, known for his controversial views, recently questioned Buttigiegโ€™s sexuality on his show, now hosted on X, the social media platform owned by right-wing billionaire Elon Musk.

In a surprising segment, Carlson claimed that one of his showโ€™s gay producers told him Buttigieg is โ€œnot really gay.โ€ โ€œโ€˜Gays all keep close track of that stuff,'โ€ Carlson said, offering no evidence for his bold assertion.

โ€œMy producer goes, โ€˜Itโ€™s totally a pose. He was dating women just a few years ago. Itโ€™s totally fake. Heโ€™s not gay at all,โ€™โ€ Carlson added, noting that he has made similar comments before, which he found โ€œkind of hilariousโ€ despite the backlash.
