Buttigieg’s faux regret on not reopening schools sooner
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/28/25 | Zachary Faria

Posted on 05/29/2025 9:27:22 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Former Transportation Secretary and future presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg wants a mulligan on Democrats shutting down schools during the pandemic.

Buttigieg was asked what he would say to his past self if he could time travel back to right after he endorsed Joe Biden for president. His answer was “one, for the love of God, figure out a way to get the schools open sooner.” This is part of Buttigieg’s efforts to distance himself from Biden’s presidency as he prepares his 2028 campaign. Biden’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention took its direction on school reopenings from teachers unions, which fought to keep schools closed with demands for unworkable restrictions and more money.

Why the hell did he have anything to do with opening schools during the scamdemic? He was transportation secretary, the farthest thing from health issues there is.

Was this a decision as Secretary of Transportation that was his to make or is he just musing about stuff?

Maybe ButtBoy will keep up his good work by keeping the dems in a disarray.

You shouldn’t insult Secretary Buttplug. He was the only one who ever tackled the tough issues like fixing racist roads and bridges. What a hero.!!

When Harris was asked if she’d have done anything different during the Brandon years she said she couldn’t think of a thing. Butt boy has now come up with something to differentiate and distance himself from the disaster.

They did not care for the students, only power.
Power over all of our lives and the power to use against President Trump to get a democrat elected. It worked. They got Biden and now they are saying sorry.

The school lock downs has permanently affected student and families value of education. Colleges will never recover as enrollment continues to decline. Just like welfare. Some kids would rather play video games all day rather then sit in class.

How many lives were saved by shutting down the country for two years and prove it.

He grew a beard.

So what?

He’s still a disgusting fag posing as a ‘husband’ and a ‘mother’!

Who gives a crap what this pervert says about anything?

Interesting how 20/20 hindsight is mostly relegated to the dumb and the stupid.
