A 2021 clip of U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg discussing “racist” highway designs is being shared online as if it shows his response to the March 2024 bridge collapse in Baltimore.
On March 26, a container ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the bridge to collapse.
Afterward, a 28-second video, opens new tab surfaced on social media showing Buttigieg standing before a podium in the White House discussing the architecture of highway bridges, saying: “If an underpass was constructed such that a bus carrying mostly Black and Puerto Rican kids to a beach, or would have been, in New York was designed too low for it to pass by, that obviously reflects racism that went into those design choices.”

I like their premise that his views on racist bridges is irrelevant to the material at hand because he said it before the bridge collapse.
So, this makes it OK????
No.
But their premise is.. it has a certain feel of smug “I’m superior to you plebes” to it.
Must be nice for them to never have to be intellectually honest ever.
It must be hell walking around every day with a sore, throbbing, bleeding rectum.
Don’t forget the warts on his lip.
Is this guy Buttigieg’s first name Plugmy?
Did Reuters fact check Joke Biden when he said he used to ride over that bridge regularly via automobile or train?
South Bend Over Pete
“U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg”
For jerks like this we use to say he doesn’t know his ass from a hole in the ground.
They gave PedoJoe a pass.
Mayor Peter Eater.
A glory hole in the ground.
THE rabbits that live under my hay pallets are smarter than ALL the BIDEN ADMIN members combined.
I was watching NBC when they edited the speech where he said he rode the train across the bridge.
We know if it was Trump, they’d highlight it.
Robert Moses certainly did his best to mess with black neighborhoods when he ran New York City planning.
Agreed. You earned bonus points for bringing up Robert Moses-how can one man hold so many offices without getting a single vote?
“You earned bonus points for bringing up Robert Moses-how can one man hold so many offices without getting a single vote?”
He knew the right people.
Some of the claims about him may be urban legends. I don’t now the truth, but he may have been blamed for a lot of things that were done by others.
In Petes case, he definitely knows his ass from a hole in the ground...
