[See NewsBusters for more.] CNN Newsroom host Jim Sciutto interviewed Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday and as he was wrapping up the interview, opened up the floor to Buttigieg to accuse Florida Republicans and their Parental Rights in Education bill of contributing to LGBTQ youth suicides.
Sciutto lobbed the softest of softballs towards Buttigieg, asking if he agreed with his husband's opinion on the bill, "I do want to ask you about Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' bill. Your husband, Chasten, is speaking out against legislation, he says in particular that it could lead to more suicides among L--LGBTQ youths, President Biden has slammed the bill as well. In your view, is this dangerous legislation?"
