Openly gay U.S. ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell slammed Mayor Pete Buttigieg this week for his repeated false attacks on Vice President Mike Pence, saying that Buttigieg was pushing a hate-crime hoax just like Jussie Smollett.

“Mayor Pete has been pushing this hate hoax along the lines of Jussie Smollett for a very long time now, several weeks, and I find it really ironic that Mayor Pete stayed silent about this so-called hate hoax on him and others during 2015, 2016, 2017 when Mike Pence was governor,” Grenell said. “There was total silence.
