Indiana Republican says Pete Buttigieg is "used to" being sexually assaulted by men like Biden

A Republican lawmaker has come under fire for making an anti-gay comment about former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Facebook. Buttigieg, the first out Democratic presidential candidate, dropped out of the race and endorsed former Vice President Joe Biden.

Indiana Sen. Mike Young (R) left a comment under a meme about Buttigieg that insinuated Buttigieg is a bottom.

In the meme, Biden is behind Buttigieg while the mayor is at a lectern. Biden has his hands on Buttigieg’s shoulders in still images from the endorsement speech.

“oh shit. oh god. oh no,” the caption reads, implying that Buttigieg is being sexually assaulted by Biden. Conservatives often use images of Biden rubbing women’s shoulders that imply that he’s “creepy” or “rapey.” Since Buttigieg is gay, he replaced the woman in the meme.

The current most-liked comment under the meme on Facebook is: “Pete is his bitch now.”

How is Mike so knowledgeable about a 'bottom'?

I saw that speech. Nothing wrong with Biden's touch. It was a beautiful moment. GOP wants to make everything ugly. They can go $%^&*()!!!
