Buttigieg on Biden Economic Polls: We’ve Had ‘Rough Few Years,’ Especially with COVID Effects, Polarization
Breitbart ^ | 11/21/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 11/21/2023 5:59:11 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “Inside Politics,” Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responded to a question on President Joe Biden’s poor poll numbers on the economy by stating that everything isn’t perfect, and “Americans have had a rough few years, especially when you think about COVID and what that did to our society and effects that we are still working through. You think about some of the political polarization that’s going on. We’re not out there saying that all of the work is done. We’re out there pointing to the good work that we’re doing.”

Buttigieg said, “Well, a big part of our job, a big part of my job is to explain the good news in terms of the physical improvements that are coming to roads and bridges and tunnels and airports and ports around the country, and in terms of things we’re seeing with the big picture economically, inflation coming back down, gas prices, as you mentioned, coming back down. I would add to that, airfare is becoming much more reasonable lately. And unemployment that I don’t think has stayed this low for this long in my lifetime. But that doesn’t mean you can go around saying everything’s perfect. And we recognize that. Americans have had a rough few years, especially when you think about COVID and what that did to our society and effects that we are still working through. You think about some of the political polarization that’s going on. We’re not out there saying that all of the work is done. We’re out there pointing to the good work that we’re doing.”

Shut up and go take some more maternity leave. About a years worth of it.

So that’s his job. “Explaining” the improvements “coming,”

Who knew?

You could easily confuse being a parasitic transportation secretary
with the job of getting coffee for your boss and still be more useful.

Until the end of the election the democrats will have their tongue in your ear and their hand in your lap.

The hell with the facts doesn’t this feel good sales pitch.

How would Buttigieg know? He spent a good part of the RECESSION at home on maternity leave with his husband trying to figure out how to breastfeed.

“... the political polarization that’s going on ...”

Notice the inclusion of that part of his comments. In other words ‘if the MAGAats and anyone else who does not totally support our agenda ...’
