Chasten Buttigieg Insta-Crushes on Mayor Pete at… the Holocaust Memorial
Chasten Buttigieg is swooning over hubby and Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg in a questionable 2017 Instagram post that resurfaced Monday afternoon. In the photo we see the smiling South Bend mayor standing amid the dark concrete slabs of Berlin's Holocaust Memorial, which honors the six million Jews who perished in the mass genocide.
The photo caption reads, simply: "This guy."
Incensed Twitter users were quick to call out the cutesy photo as tasteless.
Back in 2013, Vice took a deep dive into the phenomenon of gay men taking Grindr photos at the memorial. "There's a certain amount of horror to the whole thing," reporter Brian Moylan wrote, "because it seems so tawdry and inappropriate."
Looks like Chasten might have missed the memo.
NewNowNext has reached out to Buttigieg's campaign for comment and will be updating this story accordingly. As of publication, the Instagram post has not been deleted.
