Democratic precinct captain Nikki van den Heever ‘s already stressful Iowa caucus Monday was escalated when a middle-age woman voter learned that the Democratic candidate she had just voted for was in a same-sex marriage.
The unidentified woman was captured on video demanding her caucus card back when she was told former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg was gay.
“Are you saying that he has a same-sex partner? Pete?” the woman wearing a clearly visible button supporting Minnesota U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar asked in a video clip which was posted to both Twitter and Reddit early Tuesday morning.
“Yes,” van den Heever replied to her.
