Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Saturday used a town hall-style event in Oklahoma to take on Donald Trump for sharing an AI-generated image of himself as a Jesus-like figure on his Truth Social platform.
Buttigieg, minutes into his opening remarks in Tulsa, addressed Christians who grew up in households where being Christian and conservative were considered “one and the same.”
“Maybe you’ve come along for a lot of things that have gone in the last few years in our politics but when you see the president insult your faith by depicting himself as the risen Lord healing somebody, you got something to say about that,” said Buttigieg, who sparked applause from the red state crowd.
He continued, “Especially since, after insulting your faith by circulating that image, he turned around and insulted your intelligence by saying he thought that was a picture of him being a doctor.”
“By the way, he’s not a doctor, either!”
