WASHINGTON -- Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary who holds the purse strings to much of President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure package, was holding forth with reporters on its impact — the promise of more electric cars, intercity train routes, bigger airports — when a pointed question came.
How would he go about building racial equity into infrastructure?
The 39-year-old former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate laid out his argument that highway design can reflect racism, noting that at least $1 billion in the bill will help reconnect cities and neighborhoods that had been racially segregated or divided by road projects.
“I’m still surprised that some people were surprised when I pointed to the fact that if a highway was built for the purpose of dividing a white and a Black neighborhood ... that obviously reflects racism,” he said.

There are lots of good quotes in this: "Nina Smith, Buttigieg’s former traveling campaign press secretary, said as Biden's top lieutenant on the bill, Buttigieg has the opportunity to lead an effort to “eradicate past injustices.""
Because that's what transportation is all about!
So the assclown from south bend over is moving forward eh?
Don’t get me started about that....guy. I’ll get banned.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Goebels would be impressed by today’s liberal media. Germany could have won the war with them.
The fakebook and tweety police are already on the look out for you. LOL! I didn’t even get dinner either.
This acclaim is a bit much for a man who hasn’t yet mastered breast feeding.
Purse strings? Are they making a vieled dig or what.
He’ll be the D nominee in 2024.
Losing to DeSantis in Nov.
! trillion in infrastructure spending? Someone has to tell him he has to come off maternity leave before he starts pissing it away.
Hell....give them Uber passes to pick up the baby food while they’re on family leave.
Person 1) “Supply chain problems? Hey, whoever is in charge of that stuff is totally incompetent!”
Person 2) “Yeah, I wouldn’t want to be that guy! Hey, have you heard about Pete Buttigieg?”
Person 1) “I sure have! He’s a rising star!!”
So Pete...where are all these workers coming from to spend the 2 trillion dollars worth of work?
Hmmm. Are they rehabilitating him and Kamala because of sagging poll numbers. OR are they getting ready (after Joe’s mysterious “soon” physical) to “25” him? So Kamala takes over and appoints Buttigeg her VP. Something is in the air, that’s for sure.
Dem controlled states and union projects.
Is that a long term delusion for Pete, or just his hormones kicking up during his maternity leave?
Somehow I knew the source of this crap would be one of the failing channels.
Poor Walt Disney
😂😎
They’re trying to groom this nobody with no resume as a future Presidential candidate. And this country is so screwed up they may succeed.
First Buttplug will get his hair and nails done and then it’s PARTY TIME
