The 37 year old military veteran was the featured guest for a sold-out, nationally-televised town hall on MSNBC’s Hardball with Chris Mathews.
Buttigieg was asked questions by a farmer about trade and tariffs.
He said it was a case of the GOP of raising taxes “on the back of our farmers.”
He said it’s a “pattern of poking people in the eye to see what happens.”
Buttigieg said if China is doing something unfair that’s one thing but he called what President Trump is doing “politically motivated gamesmanship.”
Buttigieg said if he were in Congress, he would vote for the impeachment of President Trump.
Other questions in the audience coming from a man who identified himself as a gay father, and was asking about foster care.
Buttigieg said he can’t wait to become a parent, but the campaign was keeping him busy.
The South Bend, Indiana Mayor’s husband, 29-year-old Chasten Glezman was in the audience for the event.
Before the event, Buttigieg held a meet & greet at in downtown Fresno’s Tuolumne Hall.
