Joe Biden's transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, can't let it go.
Two weeks after drawing public criticism from the likes of Fox News's Tucker Carlson and others for taking family leave at a time of multiple transportation crises, including a big supply chain breakdown at West Coast ports, he's decided to campaign for ... family leave. Never mind the ports.
According to The Hill:
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is aiming to use the fierce criticism he faced from conservatives over taking paternity leave as a way to have a conversation about the issue, amid efforts from the White House to get paid family leave into a social spending bill pending in Congress.
“The negativity was unfortunate but, in a way, maybe some good comes out of it too because it’s helped us have a conversation about parental leave,” Buttigieg said this week.
That's what he was talking about on the Sunday talks. That's his priority. It would be like Gen. Mark Milley discussing the importance of weight loss while Afghanistan was collapsing, which even Milley didn't do.
The brouhaha began about two weeks ago when the ports went into crisis, more than a hundred cargo ships found themselves stranded off the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports, while independent truckers, forced to buy new trucks and banned as independent contractors in the state of California, suddenly became scarce.
As an unprecedented supply chain crisis rippled through the American economy, unbeknownst to the American public, Buttigieg was on family leave. He said nothing. He attended a single zoom meeting. Joe Biden had to appoint someone else to try to sort through the port crisis since Pete wasn't up to the job.

Guessing he thinks he’s Secretary of TRANSgenders?
Does Pete Buttigieg even know what his job is?
Look at his decisions in life and that’ll tell you everything you need to learn.
Maybe Peter peter should be directing Ca to change their rules for truckers to what is reasonable. Ca put a lot of truckers out of business.
Butt boy is doing exactly what The Big Guy wants, just like Kamala.
Being the designated DoNothingSonofaBitch so that nothing gets done.
At this point “what does it matter”? All of these hacks are just a front for the string pullers.
I thought we were reducing “Paternal” parental leave to 2 weeks, is he taking 2 months because he is the mother of the child?
Never mind that the DOT is mostly unconstitutional with powers way beyond anything stated or contemplated in the Constitution, the ONLY source of valid and legal federal government power.
Does anyone care?
Transportation Secretary is one of the 4 big departments, the others being State, Defense, and Atty. General. Doesn’t show up for work is a disqualifier but most Americans don’t even know it’s a department much less how important it is.
Until people are literally starving, or they have their cell phone service discontinued, social justice will always be more important than anything else.
The wake call is coming.
Yes, he is doing his job, helping destroy America. As planned.
DO NOT post pics of Pete with the fake breastfeeding boobs. I will come through this phone like Electroman and kill whoever FReeper post that garbage.
This is an obvious lie. Why would he not draw attention to it at the beginning?
Doesn’t matter. This goof only entered the presidential race to get name recognition so he and his boyfriend could get the f#ck out of South Bend. He knew he’d get some government job where he goes on tv and to meetings. Worked well too, didn’t it?
Taking 2 months off during an emergency tells you tons about this useless fool
You are correct, it’s exactly what the “President” wants him to do. The message to the dirty peons is that we elites will do as we please, and it’s not your place to question us. If we say youn need lessons in transgender parenting instead of transportation, you will shut up and pay attention.
This is what Shakespeare called,”the inso,insight, of office.”
Leave the poor guy alone
He and his wife are trying to chest chest-feed their purchased twins
It’s grueling.
He knows what his job is ! His job is to be publicly gay !
Buttigieg shows disturbing signs of being “heterophobic.”
As the supply chain port crisis festers, Buttigieg has been on 12 week paid maternity leave, and had plenty of time to do interviews for People magazine about his homo life.......
Buttigieg’s self-serving decision to take paternity leave undermines hetero taxpayers interests.......the ones paying his salary.
