Pete Buttigieg is clearly laying the groundwork for a 2028 presidential run, even going so far as to grow a beard in what looks like a transparent rebranding effort. And frankly, it’s no wonder he thinks he needs a makeover; his time as Transportation Secretary was a train wreck — sometimes literally. His four years in the Biden administration were a nonstop showcase of incompetence and misplaced priorities. You’d be hard-pressed to find a single transportation crisis he didn’t bungle.
Now, we've got one more.
Do you remember how the Democrats and the media tried to blame Trump for January's deadly air crash at Washington National Airport? Even Buttigieg joined in on the pile-on.

@PeteButtigieg · Follow Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.

We now know Buttigieg bears significant responsibility for the tragedy.
During Senate testimony Wednesday, a bombshell revelation exposed that a critical hotline connecting air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport to the Pentagon has been "inoperable" since March 2022 — while Buttigieg was Transportation Secretary. The Washington Post covered it:
A hotline connecting air traffic controllers at Reagan National Airport and their counterparts at the Pentagon has been “inoperable” since March 2022, a Federal Aviation Administration official confirmed Wednesday, further evidence of poor safety coordination between federal agencies responsible for the airspace where a midair collision in January killed 67 people.
The line is maintained by the Defense Department, and the aviation agency was not aware of the outage during the three years it was down,

Well, with chest feeding device firmly in place, go ahead chest feeder. Make your claims
Put stupid people in charge of areas with little or no expertise....and presto...tragedy. Only democrats are this blinded by ideology that causes catastrophic results and they look the other way or blame someone else. No accountability, no sense of shame or responsibility, no moral or ethical compass engaged. And of course, they then blame Trump. What a pathetic, evil crew they are.
Crash? What crash? Oh yeah, that’s the one with the lesbian helicopter pilot, right? I think I recall that.
And yet the liberals and Democrats support Buttplug.
I’d say blinded by arrogance. After all they defn themselves as the smartest ppl in the room….and arent timid about letting you know.
Buttegeig has no accomplishments, none.
The hotline isn’t germane in this case.
ATC knew she was there.
She knew the jet was there.
There’s a lot of blame to go around, ATC, the pilot, her check pilot...
But having a working hotline wouldn’t have changed the outcome.
But it makes a dandy distraction from what might have.

What’s with the beard? He’s trying to imitate JD Vance?
Yes, irrelevant, not germane, a distraction is all true. But it is emblematic of the gross incompetence in government. It’s a bottomless maw money pit, but broken things stay broken for THREE YEARS and nobody notices, much less does anything about it.
If that doesn’t symbolize the federal government, then nothing does.
Scores of dead people killed on a crash that was totally preventable symbolizes it even better.
I disagree. He accomplished so much death and destruction.
Growing a beard? What’s next...will he buy himself a pair of Red Wing work boots?
He’s going to try to get his partner to try doll himself up and play wife to look more normal.
Or where can I git me a huntn license around these parts?
Yes, true that! Of course.
