"Mayor Pete has an idea. He's clearly gotten the masculinity problem memo. He's pretending not to be a beta. He grew a beard and he hit the manosphere, the male podcast world."
"Pete is not exactly the one you sent out to get the young bro crowd. You might as well send Dylan Mulvaney doing a makeup class."
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg received positive social media attention after appearing on Flagrant, a podcast targeting male audiences, to discuss his Democratic party vision. Fox News responded negatively to his appearance, with host Rachel Campos-Duffy, wife of current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, criticizing Buttigieg during a segment. Campos-Duffy called Buttigieg a "beta" and suggested he grew a beard to appear more masculine while entering the manosphere podcast space. Fox contributor Raymond Arroyo mocked Buttigieg for presenting political ideas to young men while being gay, comparing the strategy unfavorably to other controversial figures. Campos-Duffy agreed with Arroyo's criticism and referenced Buttigieg's new beard as part of her commentary.
