#PeteButtigieg #PaidFamilyLeave #Vacation
Sick world
This clown is unqualified for any office. Worthless for America.
PATHETIC !
This is full ignorance and incompetence, he just enjoing his power that's it. There is should not be any leaves at this level of the government. I'm personally almost constantly oncall 24/7 and my position is not that inportant as his, and this guy is just enjoing his life and no one can fire him because he is from LGBTQ+ community.
So Lil' PB is now our Secretary of Transportation. What is his background you might ask. Well, he managad the Bicycle Rental for the city of South Bend In. His Lime Bike Empire ended with these bikes tossed in the River, Stolen, or Destroyed. A few years later he called it a Success and stopped the program because of the enormous cost. Ya see, Democrats successes come from the accumulation of Titles, not from Merit. They All fail upwards.
Pete, you're all screwed in 2022
The only way to fire this direliction of duty is for us to fire Biden; first firing his majority in the Congress and Senate in mid-terms. Buttigig and Biden both need to be put on mandantory vacations from public service permanently for not serving.
Paternity leave is fine. A Cabinet member taking paternity leave, not fine. The Secretary of Transportation taking paternity leave in the middle of a transportation crises, priceless!
A bizarre attack? That Americans expect Cabinet members to keep the country running?
P.B. = FILTH.
Budajudge;s tone-deaf misunderstanding of this will be used as campaign material to defeat or even impeach Joe Biden. NBC is showing the world that they can't see how a national crisis is a lot more important than family leave issues. It is actually disgraceful. The backup of cargo is an extremely dangerous situation. Confusing the importance of family leave with the responsibility of a cabinet level secretary to work 24 x 7 during a crisis. This demonstrates how shallow and ignorant Meet the Press host is. When dealing with military and national security crisis that pose a threat to millions of Americans – a real professional Sec. of Transportation would have a short & long term plan. This incompetent and bankrupt secretary doesn't even understand this – and he's obviously not being supervised by a responsible president.
Pete, you are doing a good job with your kids, please stay home for the next 3 years, no need to come back….
Pete is useless
6 months into his job he needs 2 months off 🤣 why would you give someone such a important job just to leave 6 months into it. Dumb dumb dumb
Paid family leave where Pete tries to breast feed while his job duties are completely ignored. Largest supply chain crisis ever.
He isn’t a female. He didn’t experience pregnancy. He took this vacation well after the babies adoption. BS
Liar liar pants on fire. I bet you will have pleny of supplies for your family. Joke!
George Costanza did this same thing when he worked with the Yankees
The supply chain will be fixed when Pete Buttigiegg’s baby can’t get diapers
I guess the poor children have to learn to bond to a bottle instead of their biological mother….,wonder how he explains the birds and bees to his children as they get older.
Everything is Fake in Joe Biden's America. As long as you are some kind of weirdo, they want to give you a job, even if you aren't qualified or even show up to work. Never happen in the real world.
We think that Americans have figured out that we are living under the Fagin economy under joe Biden and Kamala harris! Why should break our backs paying tax when you got to pick a pocket or two! Case in point him!
We hope that Peter is not experiencing any postpartum discomfort. Oh my “it’s a boy and a girlâ€ÂÂ.
Wa, ha, ha, ha, haï¼ÂÂPaternity leave is more important than National Logistic link Broken. I have right to be a father, a. a. a Mother, I Don't Care your transportations.
Dream job stay at home gov weak lil nas , poop spreader.
Loafin
" " He takes it all..he takes it all away/all the way. " " – judas priest.
Creepy Pete is ruined politically.
When he was mayor he could take off anytime, why change now?
Excuses excuses excuses
Let's face it, the guy is on vacation since pretend president hired him for his homosexual qualification.
