Biden Transportation Secretary Pete “I’m Taking Some Personal Time” Buttigieg, in an interview with CNN published Sunday, lashed out critics of his handling of the toxic train wreck in East Palestine, Ohio last month, swearing and accusing them of being out of touch East Coast elites as he defended wearing designer dress boots to tour the derailment scene.
Buttigieg singled out President Trump and Fox News Channel prime time host Tucker Carlson in his hissy fit interview with CNN, even swearing at one point (excerpt):
“It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite, whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn’t know their way around a T.J. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country,” the Transportation Secretary said. “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”

I don’t think old Pete Buttieplug is ever going to run for another gvt office. Wild guess is his ‘special’ friends, like the pedo mayor in College Park are all going to be revealed soon. My other guess, is the one who takes him out is his pretend hubby’s friend wierdo thief Sam Brinton. I saw an interview old Chasten gave to Sam. Very touchy feely, yucking it up. Special airplane rides???
The difference is the amount of clothes thrown on the floor of the stores because the “shoppers” can’t put them back on the sales racks.
I doubt he shops at either.
They are a loud bunch!😀
Taxman Bravo Zulu to FReeper Kristinn!
His standard of living increased pretty dramatically when he got the Cabinet gig. I wonder howe much he raised in his Presidential bid.
This is from a moron who doesn’t know the difference between a male and a female...
Know the difference between a Marshall’s and a Kohl’s?
Add that to the gay test.
“What exactly is he getting at?”
He’s trying to claim that his detractors are not familiar with certain “markers” of the working class, but he’s doing it by reference to retail shopping, a female activity.
If they don’t know the difference between TJ Maxx and Kohl’s, it’s more likely because they are men, not because they are rich.
So even his attempt at working class cred is soy boyish.
If he had said “Home Depot and Harbor Freight”, he might have come off less prissy and prancy.
Calling out Tucker won’t age well for Buttgiggity!
My point exactly
What Petey said;>> to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country <<
PB may be totally sincere but he did nothing. Trump may be totally insincere, but he did something.
Which man did more for the people of East Palestine?
Why would he, but I bet his female wife does. Just because Buttigeig and his husband are abnormal doesn't mean everyone else is.
“Potty-Mouthed”. An appropriate description of the woefully incompetent Butt-gag. No doubt a well-earned moniker limited not only to his language.
Is Buttiguy saying the US Department of Transportation is somehow akin to a chain store? But his version is a slightly classier and up market chain store?
