Pete Buttigieg fired back at Tucker Carlson’s claim he was ‘figuring out how to breast feed’ during his paternity leave and insisted he was still available to respond to the supply chain crisis while looking after his twins with husband Chasten.

‘I guess he [Tucker] just doesn’t understand the concept of bottle feeding, let alone the concept of paternity leave’, the Transportation Secretary told MSNBC’s Deadline White House on Friday night.

‘But what’s really strange is that, you know, this is from a side of the aisle that used to claim the mantle of being pro-family, he added in the interview with Nicole Wallace.

‘This attack is coming from a guy who has yet to explain his apparent approval for the assassination of Harvey Milk, so obviously we know there’s some dark places where some of these attitudes come from’, he said.
