Bee lands on Pete Buttigieg and his - and husband's - response is perfect [View all]

Democratic Presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg had to deal with an unexpected distraction whilst on the campaign trail yesterday.

‘Mayor Pete’ was in Elkader, Iowa, for a town hall event. Whilst answering a question on healthcare from the audience, he noticed a bee land on his tie. And it didn’t want to budge.

Whereas some people freak out around wasps and bees, Buttigieg remained calm but determined to remove the insect.

When gently flicking his tie didn’t work, he slowly worked to remove it and hand it to someone who could take the bee outside.
