Buttigieg Gets Busted

The 2028 presidential contest is already under way. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, who held a town hall event in Iowa this week, is clearly contemplating a second run at the White House.

He is distancing himself from Joe Biden, who is now despised by the Left, and paying homage to Kilmar Garcia, the Left’s patron saint of open borders. But he might want to think twice because his record as transportation secretary is coming under scrutiny.

When the tragic crash between a civilian jetliner and a military helicopter occurred at Reagan National Airport, Buttigieg denied any responsibility and blamed the Trump administration, even though Sean Duffy had been transportation secretary for one day.

In reality, Buttigieg bears the blame. And the Washington Post has the receipts:

“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 FAA] was not aware of the outage during the three years it was down.”

Who was transportation secretary in March 2022? Pete Buttigieg. He was also the transportation secretary in 2023 and 2024. He spent his time talking about “racist” highways and DEI. He was nowhere when a train derailment decimated working-class families in East Palestine, Ohio.

It takes an incredible amount of chutzpah for Buttigieg to blame Trump and Duffy. But the Left has no shame, and it will ALWAYS politicize tragedies.
