Buttigieg Admits Mask-Wearing Is More About 'Respect' Than Science When Confronted

Pete Buttigieg became the butt of million jokes when he was announced as the nominee to lead the Department of Transportation under the Biden administration.

Yes, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana was clearly a man on the rise after one of the most improbable presidential campaigns in recent memory, one that began with him having to remind almost every interviewer how his surname was pronounced and then answering why the heck he was there, and ended after winning the most votes in the Iowa caucuses and coming in second in the New Hampshire primary.

However, when he was announced as President Joe Biden’s pick to lead the DOT, Buttigieg highlighted the fact he’d had “a personal love of transportation” stemming from trips on Amtrak to proposing to his husband in an airport terminal. That’s not a resumé for transportation secretary, that’s an 800-word college admittance essay about impactful life experiences using planes, trains and automobiles as a theme.

It’s about coercion. The more they try to force the vaccine, with no explicableness, as this stupid piece likes to use, the more proud the unvaccinated should be to walk around with a mask that they did not fall to peer pressure to take this experimental substance. I would bet my savings that Fauci did not take the vaccine.

Wearing a mask in public is very much an act of submission and is a theme in S&M in which the "slave" in the relationship is forced to appear in public under some sort of bondage.

That being the case, I can see how "mayor Pete" is a fan of this.

Mind boggling just how easy it was for the demonic experts to get Americans to bend a knee.

Same with global warming/climate change.

It’s about the political agenda than about real science.

Well, on one respect he’s right. I have no respect at all for someone wearing a mask. Especially now.
