Former presidential candidate Pete Buittigieg’s husband Chasten has been trolled online after he said living in Washington, DC was “almost unaffordable” despite Pete’s government salary of $221,400.
The couple moved to Washington last year with Pete now working as the Transport Secretary in the Biden administration.
Chasten Buittigieg told The Washington Post the rental market was steeper than their former stomping grounds of Indiana.
“We’re doing fine for ourselves, and [yet] the city is almost unaffordable,” he said.
“Which tells you how extremely unaffordable it is for many people.”
Social media users were quick to criticise Chasten for the complaint.
“Imagine being so far removed from the real world that you complain about your $4,500/mo apartment not having a den,” wrote one user.
“Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities thanks to #bidenflation but poor Pete & Chasten don’t get a den in their high-end building. Boo hoo.”

Trolled? Wasn’t that long ago they’d be chased down the alley and beaten with baseball bats… they should be grateful it’s not 1981
What do you mean almost?
They will soon be asking for "care packages" like the Texan Democrats..
Pete Budabug is a freak with dim whitted ideas, and so is his buddy or partner. Men don't mary men. I find them revolting.
Did we need to know this snippet of nonsense, is not a lot of guns and drugs flowing into the US, isn't Australia in a mess, what about France? This gay man's living conditions as a terrible politician for the Globalist agenda is not getting enough puppet money…
Which is the Husband? Both wearing suits.
This is what happens when evil is called good and when good is called evil. America is reaping the tolerance it sowed. If anyone here is a Christian or knows the Holy Bible. When talking about the Antichrist. The Holy Bible says that the Antichrist will not desire women.
Civilization is rotting.
Barf!
Try a budget and get a reality check
So LEAVE! Go back to wherever you came from. American Patriots did not vote for you.
That's Gay.
They're not being trolled. They're being lampooned.
Disgusting! USA!
Stop this nonsense. Men do not have husbands.
These two should be ashamed of themselves. Period.
Think he was trying to come off as relatable, but it backfired.
Maybe Pete will qualify for unemployment because he only works parttime in his new job. He was ahead in the race but I bet Bloomberg and the Domocrats made a deal with him, and yes money talks, so he dropped out of the race. Hey they stole Bernie's nomination not once but twice. Pete and his husband should walk down Homeless Lane where places are affordable in cardboard boxes
Husband.wow .oh ok I guess ……,!not .
yuck.
Taking it in the can. Abominations to God.
Useless figs
Ignorant narcissistic elitists
So sad all of it.
At least they don’t have to pay school fees
They getting ready to play swords with the man meat
Gross
Give some of it away since you're doing so well. Isn't that what you preach?
Indiana is still affordable folks.
Yeah that’s plenty normal.
