Lizzo<\/a> and Pete Buttigieg<\/a> found themselves breathing the same air during an appearance on CBS This Morning<\/i> Thursday, during which the Democratic presidential hopeful partook in the time-honored tradition of politicians awkwardly quoting pop songs.<\/p>\n

When host Gayle King prompted Buttigieg with the question of whether or not he\u2019d recently had a DNA test \u2014 an obvious reference to the famous line in Lizzo\u2019s breakout hit \u201cTruth Hurts\u201d \u2014 the South Bend mayor replied, \u201cYes, and I am 100 percent that\u2026 nominee.\u201d Right before he said \u201cnominee,\u201d though, a flustered Lizzo tried to get him to stop, thinking he might complete the actual lyric, \u201cI\u2019m 100 percent that bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Lizzo cheekily fanned herself in relief at Mayor Pete\u2019s word choice, it\u2019s unclear whether or not she actually agreed with his assessment (her seemingly ice cold stare in the photo Buttigieg posted to Instagram<\/a> speaks volumes). Lizzo hasn\u2019t officially endorsed anyone, but she talks politics regularly on Twitter and has spoken of her deep admiration for Barack and Michelle Obama<\/a>. After the former president put her song \u201cJuice\u201d on his Summer 2019 playlist, Lizzo tweeted<\/a>, \u201cWe\u2019re friends now I don\u2019t make the rules!\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the 2020 election, back in August, Lizzo showed some support for both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren without actually naming either of them as her preferred candidate. She called Warren a \u201cdope candidate\u201d and defended Sanders against claims that he was too old to be president, noting President Donald Trump is 73 and it was time to \u201cdrop the ageism shit and just listen to what he\u2019s got to say\u201d (both tweets, interestingly, have since been deleted, although they\u2019re archived on The Hill<\/i><\/a>). Lizzo ultimately described both tweets as not an endorsement but \u201ca call to action for us to focus and get unified as a party.\u201d<\/p>\n
