In an interview Sunday, he was asked about his thoughts on protesters following Justice Brett Kavanaugh to dinner.<\/p>\n<p>This came after his husband, Chasten, wrote on Twitter \u201csounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions,\u201d seemingly referencing the recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Kavanaugh has been threatened previously, most recently by a suspected gunman from California.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Sounds like he just wanted some privacy to make his own dining decisions. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pAUiYqxIHT\">https:\/\/t.co\/pAUiYqxIHT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chasten Buttigieg (@Chasten) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Chasten\/status\/1545423835905785856?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Nonetheless, Buttigieg expressed no public figure is free from criticism or peaceful protests.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Justice never came into contact with these protesters, reportedly didn\u2019t see or hear them,\u201d stated the Transportation Secretary. \u201cAnd these protesters are upset because a right, an important right the majority of Americans support, was taken away.
