Oh, please don't let it be true, Pete.
The Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who is considered to be the laziest member of Sleepy Joe Biden’s cabinet (and one of the most incompetent), appears to be seriously thinking about leaving the tough world of politics because it's too hard.
A rising star in leftist political circles, Buttigieg, who based his presidential campaign on being gay and the mayor of a small Midwest city, said to “Face the Nation” that politics is difficult, which he realized after observing President Biden dealing with various issues for the past three years.
“Well, I certainly have a new perspective on just how demanding that job is, watching President Biden deal with so many concerns, challenges, and opportunities for this country,” he told CBS’s weekly D.C. bacchanalia.
So Pete’s standard for presidential work ethic is the elder statesman who has been relatively inactive in office? Tiring.
Buttigieg mentioned that he's “proud to be a small part of the big team.” Members of that team have indeed been working extra hours to dismantle what Americans have built over the past 250 years.
“I sincerely don’t know whether I will run for elected office of any kind again,” he told “Face the Nation.”
For a guy who has only held elected office of one kind — mayor of South Bend, Indiana — that’s quite a threat. Please, make it a promise, Pete.
But Buttigieg won’t. He’s like all of the Trump-hating Hollywood glitterati who threatened to leave America upon the election of Donald Trump but have stayed. threatened Just like Mayor Pete isn’t likely to bow out of politics even after his disastrous tenure as the nation’s transportation chief comes to an end. He’s too much of a political climber. Talent and ambition don’t always go together.
There wasn't much on Buttigieg’s political resume before his run for president that qualified him for that job. However, there are many things on his record as transportation secretary that should disqualify him from holding elected office again.
A story a little over a year ago in the left-leaning Independent incredibly asked, “
Is Pete Buttigieg the best — or worst — transportation secretary in history?” Oh, he’s the worst.Just ask the folks in East Palestine, Ohio. It took Buttigieg two and a half weeks to amble his way to the village living under a toxic cloud rising from a massive train derailment. When he got there, Buttigieg defended his “hard-working” president and blamed Trump for the cataclysmic event. “In President Joe Biden’s America, the people of East Palestine were left scrambling in the dark, with, until Thursday, an absentee Transportation secretary struggling EPA
and industry reps who refuse to
respond to simple inquiries ,” U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., wrote on February 23, 2023, a Rubio echoed the question of East Palestine residents and other Americans: “Where’s Pete?” Sometimes that question has been answered with a paternity leave. In fall 2021, as the country faced aserious supply-chain crisis op-ed.
and the Democrat-led Congress was working on a trillion-dollar “infrastructure” package, Buttigieg took two months off to be with his husband, Chasten, and their newly adopted twins.
“Unfortunately, the Secretary is currently on leave due to the birth of his twins, and that may lead to a delay in possibly scheduling in the future,” an unnamed staffer at the Transportation Department wrote in declining a meeting with U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, The Federalist’s Tristan Justice
“Pete is the only person in human history to have a child and everyone else gets postpartum depression,” former Vice President Mike Pence last year on the presidential campaign trail. Pence was criticized by the left as a homophobe for telling journalists and politicians at the annual Gridiron Dinner that the transportation secretary took “maternity leave” and “thousands of travelers were stranded in airports, the air traffic system shut down, and airplanes nearly collided on our runways.” Pence was correct.
When the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed last week, Pete was right there. His friends in the corporate media wanted everyone to know that Buttigieg wasn’t mishandling the response this time. Politico reported.
a PR piece about the secretary’s fast response, emphasizing that Buttigieg’s work cell phone was buzzing “not long after the bridge collapsed at 1:30 a.m.” Whether he picked up right away, well, the piece doesn’t specify. quipped I wouldn’t be surprised if the call came from the same sycophantic reporters who have given the incompetent Buttigieg a sweeping pass for his dutiful role as ambassador of identity politics. I imagine the phone conversation going something like this:
Say, uh, Pete. Did you know a bridge in Baltimore has gone down? You’d probably better head over there, or at least send out a statement or something. This isn’t like East Palestine. Nobody in Baltimore votes for Trump.
Handling his job, Buttigieg told “Face the Nation,” is challenging and rewarding. He says it’s “taken about 110 percent” of what he has to give right now. published If what Buttigieg is giving is “110 percent,” I’d hate to see coasting. A dreadful thought as I prepare to fly in the coming weeks.
If mercy be not strained, the long national nightmare of Joe Biden and his lousy transportation chief will soon come to an end. After all of that “work” of watching Biden sleepwalk through the last three years, Mayor Pete will definitely need a rest before he storms back into politics like a gay — after they don’t have Pete Buttigieg to kick around anymore.
Too bad he won’t be able to take that generous paternity leave plan with him.
Mayor Pete’s ideal for presidential work ethic is the geezer who has napped his way through office? Exhausting.
If mercy be not strained, the long national nightmare of Joe Biden and his lousy transportation chief will soon come to an end. After all of that “work” of watching Biden sleepwalk through the last three years, Mayor Pete will definitely need a rest before he storms back into politics like a gay Dick Nixon — after they don’t have Pete Buttigieg to kick around anymore.
Too bad he won’t be able to take that generous paternity leave plan with him.
