Presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg was heckled by protesters at an event in Texas Friday night, but fellow Democratic challenger Beto O’Rourke came to his defense.
Buttigieg was speaking at the Dallas County Democratic Party’s Johnson Jordan Dinner Friday when he was interrupted on several occasions by anti-gay remarks.
The protesters yelled, “Marriage is between a man and a woman,” and, “Repent,” according to CNN.
O’Rourke, who is a former Texas Representative, came to his opponent’s defense on Twitter, posting “Texans don’t stand for this kind of homophobia and hatred. Mayor Pete, we are grateful you came to Texas and hope to see you and Chasten back again soon.”
