Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg blames transportation problems on … climate change
American Thinker ^ | 04/21/2023 | Thomas Lifson

It’s hard not to laugh at the deadly earnest, self-righteous inanities spouted by former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who, primarily because of his sexual orientation, was chosen to lead the Department of transportation. Despite having never fixed the potholes of his home town. Name a bugaboo the progressives claim bedevils our society and Pete will tell you that it is at the root of transportation problems.

Let’s see. Racism? Check.

Next: climate “change.” Yep, it’s to blame for our transportation problems (because?) as he just testified yesterday:

“On one hand, our transportation systems are still grappling with the consequences of the pandemic, climate change, and decades of disinvestment.”

Sexism? That’s coming up, with an assist from Rosa DeLauro:

Tucker: well, mayor Pete has run the department of transportation for about two years now. The good news is we have fewer racist roads, they’ve been indicted by the civil rights division. The bad news, we now have regular train derailments where toxic chemicals spill into people’s homes. Air travel is almost unusable, more unreliable than it’s ever been. The other day, a major airline had to ground all flights. Mayor Pete is laser focused on real problems, the ones he identified at mckenzie, the racist roads and the sexism inherent in the transportation system. A congresswoman is on this, praised mayor Pete today for his efforts to root out sexism in the automobile industry and singled out a new initiative she hopes department of transportation will roll out soon. Here it is.

So we have Fed.gov ideologues and idiots running >$1.5 trillion yearly in deficits, for wars of empire, and insane gender/climate/race schemes.

If you were a foreign citizen/government - wouldn’t you also want an alternative to the US Dollar?

So he’s found something that isn’t racist? Or is racism causing climate change? This guy’s thinking is hard to follow, if that’s what it’s called.

Don’t forget racism. That’s the other key tenet of the Leftists’ faith. Everything is Gaia worship, Trans or racism.

Climate change and racism are TRANSPORTATION problems? It reminds me of Janet Yellen changing lanes to address abortion, racism, and climate change. They are both political appointees hired for reasons other than merit, competency or expertise.

I blame Pete Buttigieg’s gayness and obsessions on Satan’s influence.

I have come to believe that all disasters, natural or otherwise, including the Biden Administration and Mayor Pete, are the result of climate change.

Well, good thing he didn’t go with racism or homophobia for this one.

He was blaming racism a couple of days ago.

The democrat party is full of people with the intellectual capabilities of Kamala Harris. In other words we might as well be electing children to political office.

They can often be observed wearing pink hats and marching around waving BLM & LBGQT flags.

This voting demographic is a huge problem.

He already tried blaming it on racism and that fell flat, even with Sharpton in the room humoring him.

Can't blame Russia or China, so what is left?
