Pete Buttigieg Attacks Critics: ‘You Think Tucker Carlson Knows the Difference Between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?’
Breitbart ^ | 03/05/2023 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 03/05/2023 7:09:23 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigeg lashed out at critics on Sunday, calling Fox News’ Tucker Carlson — born and raised in California — a member of the “East Coast elite” who did not understand the working class.

Buttigieg has come under fire lately for his mishandling of a toxic trail derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.

He has also been slammed for being on unannounced parental leave during the cargo crisis of 2021, and for being on vacation in Portugal last year as a rail strike loomed — while pretending that he was still in the country.

>>Kohls is slightly more tony. Think Macys vs. Woolworth

There isn’t nearly that much distance between Kohl’s and T.J. Maxx.

The word “projection” comes immediately to mind.

ButtGig is a token. He is an incompetent TWOT, which suits him perfectly to the BeijingBiden WHouse.

T.J Maxx? Kohl’s?

More importantly, Carlson definitely knows the difference between the in-door and the out-door.

“You Think Tucker Carlson Knows the Difference Between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”

Um... Pete, we all know what you are, mental acrobatics aren’t really needed to prove it.

Agreed, but the direction is correct.

Knows the Difference Between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?

Apparently to be a professional career politician this is a prerequisite and a must know!

Blap!

Agreed.

They are basically the same.

As far as comparisons, Nordstrom vs. Penney’s (in the past, Sears; and Penney’s got better but has retreated again).

I’m not sure I ever experienced a lunch counter at a Woolworth’s. At some other 5&dime, yes. But too brief.

I actually vaguely remember “Kresge’s” being around. Pretty sure.

But in my immediate zone, it was already K-Mart.

Tucker probably does not.

However, he understands the difference between a vagina and an asshole, which Pete Buttheisgay does not.

No difference, the true working class can’t afford either one.

Was that supposed to be a scathing retort?

Tucker Carlson knowing the difference between two retailers has nothing to do with the issue Tucker Carlson is raising which is, “ Is Mayor Pete demonstrating competence in performing the job for which he is being paid? If Pete’s answer to this questioning of his job performance is that Carlson doesn’t know the difference between Kohl’s and TJ Max, then the Transportation Secretary is confirming his own incompetence with his answer.

If Pete was performing at a high level he would be able to list his many real accomplishments and wow us with his depth of knowledge on the many transportation problems facing the nation. His inability to respond on the issues relating to his performance is strong evidence of failure and gross negligence in his job. If he were an executive at a high performing private company he would have been fired long ago.

The bottom line is that Tucker or any of his critics aren’t the ones responsible for his job, he is. He just wants to try and get the spotlight off him and on to anyone else.

He was not hired for his ability and competence, he was hired for identity group political correctness.

The death of meritocracy will not end well. It did not end well anywhere the Communists tried it, and our Communists are no different. VDH wrote a great column on the theme recently.
