Instapundit links to a Washington Free Beacon article which makes fun of Pete Buttigieg’s Transportation Department. It recently has twice dropped the ball with regard to air travel. WFB alleges that instead DOT has focused on DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) matters.
No kidding. Buttigieg is a smart “out” gay who wants to be involved in national politics. If he is even slightly realistic, he understands his sexual orientation is a drag on his electoral ambitions. Put him in charge of a federal agency and then be surprised when he emphasizes DEI issues? I don’t think so.
It didn’t take the bureaucrats at DOT 5 minutes to figure out what sort of proposals would get favorable reception in the Secretary’s office. It’s sad (but not surprising) that we don’t have a DOT Secretary who has transportation as his number one issue.
Good luck next time you fly….
