Pete Buttigieg is probably one of the worst transportation secretaries in recent memory. Generally, people do not even know who the transportation secretary is, and the fact Buttigieg is talked about regularly is a testament to what a poor job he is doing.

Being transportation secretary, you would think he might talk about a recent train derailment that has caused severe environmental issues in some parts of Ohio. However, he chose to talk about how construction projects often have workers that might not reflect the community in which they are being built.

In other words: too many white people in construction jobs. Yes, this made-up problem seems much more important than dead fish in Ohio due to toxic chemicals from a train derailment. (that is sarcasm)

Twitter found this all very laughable and dropped the hammer on his ignorance.

Buttigieg may not have realized it, but he is pointing fingers at the Democrat darlings known as unions. If their membership is not diverse enough why isn’t he taking it up with them?

Oh yes, Pete would much rather let other people handle things as he did when he was on paternity leave.

What train derailment?

Sadly, that seems to be true. He seems to look at the job as a constant photo op to get him to his next position.

HA! We bet he made the CHOO CHOOO noise too. ????

We never noticed it before, but that is true. Buttigieg does not seem to have the same nervous laugh thing, so he might be slightly less annoying.

Excellant job Mayor Pete!

Honestly, this editor only heard about the Ohio derailment today and we are focused on the news a lot so it does seem very weird that is not being talked about 24/7 on every news network.

That is one fair point for Buttigieg. He is not bringing it up, but nobody is asking him about it either.

Maybe pay attention to some real transportation issues and stop worrying about workers skin color Mayor Pete!
