Karen Pence Dismisses Pete Buttigieg as Name-Checking Mike Pence for Attention

Second Lady Karen Pence answered questions about Democratic Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg while appearing on a Fox News radio show to promote her daughter’s children’s book.

Both Pence and Buttigieg come from Indianna. Buttigieg had previously called out Karen’s husband, Vice President Mike Pence, for pushing religious freedom laws that discriminated against the LGBT+ community.

“They’ve really always had a great relationship,” Karen said, while trying to talk about her children’s book.

“That’s what part of what is so great about the book. One of the things we start the book off with is religious liberty. In our country we need to understand you should not be attacked for what your beliefs are. Kids need to learn that from a young age, no matter what faith people have, you should not be attacked for your faith.

“It’s funny because I don’t think the vice president does have a problem with him, but I think it’s helping Pete to get some notoriety by saying that about the vice president.”

Karen Pence currently works part time at a religious school that reserves the right to fire or expel LGBT+ staff and students.
