Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was recently quizzed about an interview he gave at the age of 18 in which he described running for office as a "sexy challenge." The comments, which were printed in the mayor's local newspaper nearly 20 years ago, were raised anew by Martha Raddatz of ABC News, who laughed along with Buttigieg about the quotes. "I think I could pull it off, it's a tremendous challenge, a kind of sexy challenge but I want to give it a try," Raddatz quoted Buttigieg as saying in the newspaper article.
