Limbaugh said on his show that Trump called him to talk about his comments last week that "America's still not ready to elect a gay guy kissing his husband on the debate stage." His remarks prompted Buttigieg to respond that he doesn't need lectures on family values from Limbaugh.
"Hell, the president even called me about this!" Limbaugh said on his show. "He said, 'Rush, I just got to tell you something. Never apologize. Don't ever apologize," Limbaugh said.
Limbaugh said he thinks people were upset about his comments because "low-information voters" did not know the candidate was gay. "There's a lot of people that don't know he's gay and that I sort of dropped the dime on it and let people who otherwise didn't know that Mayor Pete is gay," he said. "I think that's what they're really mad about, that I even mentioned it."
