A news report says right-wing activists made false sexual assault claims against Buttigieg. It’s a charge rooted in homophobia.


(Kamil Krzaczynski/AFP/Getty Images)Ever since South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg jumped into the Democratic presidential primary, he’s been surpassing expectations. According to a Daily Beast article, Wohl and Burkman tried to recruit young Republican men to falsely claim that Buttigieg sexually assaulted them. Wohl “didn’t target Bernie Sanders. "And they obviously see Pete Buttigieg as a threat electorally.”Pushing a false sexual assault allegation also threatens the credibility of the #MeToo movement. It’s ironic that Wohl allegedly tried to fabricate allegations against Buttigieg while also steadily dismissing the multiple credible accusations facing Trump.
