Pete Buttigieg slams Democrats' 'Portlandia' approach to pushing diversity
FOX News ^ | 2/20/25 | Joshua Q. Nelson Fox News

Former Biden administration official Pete Buttigieg said that the Democratic Party's approach to promoting diversity was too heavy-handed and led to the election of President Donald Trump.

"What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people’s different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of ‘Portlandia,’ which I have also experienced," Buttigieg said.

"And it is how Trump Republicans are made," Buttigieg added.

Look who’s talking about being excessively PC!
“Mayor Pete’ was always very quick at accusing those who disagreed with him, of being racist, sexist, homophobic, etc.

Give them another chance, and they will double down. They always do.

“Portlandia” is a tv series set in and around Portland, Oregon,
spoofing the city’s reputation as a haven for eccentric hipsters.

Now he says this. Not a word when he was in government. This is Pete “tacking” to the middle so he can win the Michigan Senate seat. He does not live in Michigan. I am not sure he ever has. I think his father owned a cabin there. And Pete might own it now. Michigan is about 10 miles from South Bend. But he could never be elected in Indian for a state wide office.

I hope he can’t be elected in Michigan for a state wide office either. There are lots of Muslims in Michigan and other black males who would have a problem with Pete. Then there are all the people who know he is a carpetbagger And they will waste their vote on a guy who will never come to Michigan after being elected.

I heard his so called husband is from Michigan, so that’s where they live now.

We can all speculate why they would live there instead of Pete wanting to go back to his hometown of South Bend.

Pothole Pete is trying to re-define DEI from its actual application. The irony is that he only exists in politics because of the "old fashioned" liberal Demonrat DEI.

Something that I would like to see discussed is what does it result in when you fill fields of work with people that don’t have a natural burning desire to pursue that field of work and seek it out, but instead were pushed into it.

Two quick examples, females pushed into mechanics such as auto mechanic and aircraft maintenance, or into engineering and STEM, do the majority of them become mediocre employees who stick with the job and collect their pay and then their retirement, always average and leading to the entire field become only average and mediocre, a sort of bureaucratic type malaise where we lose the passion in the field and the frequent breakouts of brilliant members, creative genius, and the hard drive of the passion to excel and exceed, the natural passion of the competitive nature of the men in that field?

So other than being a fag, he had no qualifications to be Secretary of Transportation. And now he preaches about the evils of being promoted for it. Got it.
