Buttigieg cautioned against boycotts of companies like Chick-fil-A because of their political giving, arguing that it leads people to "sometimes slip into a sort of virtue signaling in some cases where we're not really being consistent" https://t.co/QGcbqlFmyQ w/ @AnnieGrayerCNN — PolitiTweet.org

.@BuzzFeedBen asked Buttigieg today about this stance: “I just want to make sure that we don’t overrate ourselves in terms of our ability to be pure in this regard. ... I think sometimes slip into a sort of virtue signaling in some cases where we’re not really being consistent.” — PolitiTweet.org

Oh boy. After @BuzzFeedBen asks him about the possibility that James Buchanan, the nation's 15th President, was gay, @PeteButtigieg says, "My gaydar is not great to begin with and definitely doesn't work over long stretches of time." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

"It's heady," Buttigieg said in an interview with CNN. "And it has happened very quickly." His campaign is now looking to double in size - from 20 to 40 - in the coming weeks and has rented a campaign HQ in South Bend that is five time larger than their current committee office. — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg can tell that things have changed - My story from South Carolina on the 37-year old’s burst of momentum and how his campaign is rushing to keep up: https://t.co/LcasYQQxrj — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Part of Buttigieg’s argument is age. Some think it’s a negative, but the 37-year old argues it’s millennials’ time. “If we don’t step up, who will,” he said. “Who has more at stake than those who will be picking up the pieces of the decisions that are being made right now?” https://t.co/XeQn2BLYDm — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg in South Carolina: “It’s time for a little more of a regional mix in the faces that our party puts forward in the highest level. We love our friends in the big cities, but it is time for us to confront the idea that” places will always be conservative https://t.co/fgPHhNOTWJ — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg, in Rock Hill, talks about how his husband could be in the hospital with his mother "because in the eyes of the law, just as in my heart, he is a member of our family." — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

When a local reporter asked him about using that line in a more conservative state where many view marriage being between a man and woman, Buttigieg said his marriage has brought him closer to God because it has made him a better person. — PolitiTweet.org

Dan Merica @merica

Pete Buttigieg has talked at length about his marriage in South Carolina, saying one of the reasons he is running is that his marriage “exists as a matter of law by the grace of a single vote on the Supreme Court.” The line consistently draws some of the biggest applause. — PolitiTweet.org
