The Department of Transportation has just revealed that Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been on paternity leave since mid-August amid the massive ongoing supply-chain crisis, according to a report.
Besides several recent television hits, Buttigieg has been lying low, Politico reported, citing his office. Buttigieg’s team told the outlet that the secretary has been on paternity leave for nearly two months to spend time with his husband and two newborn babies. The office had not previously announced his time off.
“For the first four weeks, he was mostly offline except for major agency decisions and matters that could not be delegated,” a spokesperson said. “He has been ramping up activities since then.”
At the same time, the secretary will “continue to take some time over the coming weeks to support his husband and take care of his new children.”
On Aug. 17, Buttigieg and his husband, Chasten, revealed the two had become dads but said the process wasn’t “done yet.”
“For some time, Chasten and I have wanted to grow our family. We’re overjoyed to share that we’ve become parents!” the former South Bend, Ind., mayor tweeted.
“The process isn’t done yet and we’re thankful for the love, support, and respect for our privacy that has been offered to us. We can’t wait to share more soon.”
Just over two weeks later on Sept. 4, the couple introduced their infant twins with a black-and-white photo, shared on Twitter and Instagram, that showed the couple cuddling the swaddled newborns side by side in a hospital bed.
As US ports face massive cargo ship traffic and the timely delivery of everyday consumer goods and holiday gifts is threatened, Buttigieg has been slammed by Republicans for staying silent. Some doubt he can help solve the crisis, blaming his lack of experience.

I always hear adopting is super hard.
How are faggots getting babies?
Poor kids!
If he can't do the job then he gets fired. Right. Now.
“Paternity leave!” Good Lord!
In fairness to Mayor Pete, the ability for the admin to post photos like that about him is the sole reason he was hired for the job so technically he's not failing to meet expectations from his boss.
I could be wrong, but I think they get to go to the front of the line.
They probably used a very well-paid, very white surrogate (or two).
I think they found a desperate expectant mother. Apparently, a previous attempt fell through. Wouldn’t do to adopt an older child or two. Nope.
Excellent point. It was clearly his only qualification.
Hey, he’s just taking time off to learn to breastfeed his newborns, right? Where’s the problem?
Maybe there trying to figure how to breast feed the baby.

Kids are probably gonna make their media debut just ahead of the midterms. I wonder what “People” would pay for an exclusive.
But these are two healthy males with children given birth to by some mother. The idea that it takes both of these, uh, "men", to take care of those kids is ridiculous. And they can hire a freaking nanny if they need to.
Butt no. They need "bonding time" while the country's logistical health goes into the crapper. Pathetic.
Someone in that position takes MONTHS off?
WT actual F?
Never mind that he's using a human being to accessorize his faggotry.
What a screwed up world we live in!
Oh, is peter suffering post partem depression? Are there complications? Is he ‘spotting”?
Extremely sorry.
