    Tucker Carlson dropped another episode of his conservative political podcast, hosting the controversial far-right commentator Milo Yiannopoulos. 

    The host and guest conversed about the conversion therapy, which has widely been considered pseudoscientific. During the chat, Milo Yiannopoulos also made an unfounded claim about Pete Buttigieg. Speaking to Carlson, the guest asserted that the former US Secretary of Transportation is not gay. 

    Yiannopoulos described Buttigieg as “an intensely boring homosexual,” as he said: 

    “I mean, isn’t Buttigieg just the most interesting character of our age? Like, I mean, he doesn’t look like. He looks like an intensely boring homosexual, like everything gay people shouldn’t be.” 

    Milo Yiannopoulos added: 

    “But it’s so interesting the fact that, I mean, clearly he wasn’t gay, like, at the beginning.” 

    Carlson mentioned Buttigieg having girlfriends in the past, as Yiannopoulos continued with his theory:

    “So he wasn’t gay, but he made himself gay.” 

    As Tucker Carlson seemingly agreed to Milo Yiannopoulos’ theory, the latter claimed that Buttigieg’s homosexuality is a symptom of his “vaulting ambition.” He asserted:

    “Buttigieg timed it perfectly. So that post Obama, the gay guy with the black kid, kids, perfect presidential candidate.” 

    Milo Yiannopoulos called Pete Buttigieg a sociopath during his bizarre rant on The Tucker Carlson Show

    The controversial political commentator made several remarks about homosexuality during his recent appearance on the former Fox News anchor’s podcast. When Carlson raised his doubts over Pete Buttigieg faking his homosexuality, Yiannopoulos began a rant on lesbianism, calling it not real. 

    He compared the same with Buttigieg’s situation and theorized: 

    “We’re dealing with a sociopath here. We’re dealing with somebody who’s. Who’s entirely divorced from his own emotional… from his own feelings, right? We’re dealing with somebody who will do anything, go anywhere, be anything.” 

    He likened the situation to that of closeted gay people marrying women and having children. Yiannopoulos concluded his rant: 

    “He’s fake. He’s not gay.” 

    Earlier during the podcast, Yiannopoulos mentioned the Buttigieg couple and said: 

    “Now we have the Buttigieg couple buying black children.” 

    When Carlson argued that it is illegal to buy people, Milo Yiannopoulos asserted, “you can if you’re homosexual,” while adding that it is called “adoption or surrogacy.”
