Pete Buttigieg rebuked conservative criticism over taking parental leave in the midst of a supply chain crisis after adopting twin newborns, as the Transportation secretary claimed paid leave to take care of family is still 'work.'
He also admitted that the supply chain traffic jams and delays could last into next year.'As you might imagine, we're bottle-feeding, and doing it at all hours of the day and night,' Buttigieg explained to CNN's State of the Union on Sunday. 'And I'm not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson or anyone else for taking care of my premature newborn infant twins.'

Of course it will, because it is caused by California blocking huge numbers of semitrucks from entering the state.
That's the real.problem.

If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen!! You shouldn't have taken the job or you shouldn't have adopted the kids, or you could have hired help. No excuses! Not that it would have really mattered if he had been there, because he is totally unqualified for the job and wouldn't have done anything to help, anyway.

Nobody expects him to apologize. He needs to resign so that he can be replaced by somebody who is qualified and who has time to actually do the job that is being paid for by taxpayers. He would then have plenty of time to stay at home with his boyfriend and play with babies.

Why do they call it paternity leave when pete is the wife? Is that sexist and homophobic? And neither the husband or the wife is genetically responsible for the children. So there is no paternity or maternity. Those words are elitist and homophobic and imperialistic and racist.

It is truly sad that any adoption agency would ever give those two LGBTQXYZ wankers babies....

Painting each others' toe nails might require some time off.
No need to tell your staff, they probably know where you're at.

He should resign but won't because it's easy money and there are lots of government goodies for the picking. In short, liberals don't give a hoot about others, they're only in it for themselves.

It's ridiculous that he is claiming it is work. It isn't the work he was hired to do, and our transportation system is in chaos and broken, thanks to him. They won't do anything at all about the unions who are limiting work hours, or the ridiculous environmental rules that forced thousands of owner-operators out of business because they couldn't afford to buy newer trucks. It was all designed to limit hauling to only union truckers and now we see the results.

and One More Thing. We all knew buttigieg wasn't qualified or competent to do any job more complicated than Baby Sitter. Though I certainly wouldn't let him near any of my children.

The cult of breast-feeding-Nazi's demand that children be taken from their parents for bottle feeding! Oh, two men? Move on... Why can't they leave these poor children out of their perversions? Statistically, the kids' futures is a nightmare. The only thing we can be sure of, they will vote Democrat even if they commit suicide they will still do that.

As though he and husband Chasten were doing this all by themselves. What rubbish. He really thinks the American people are stupid.

I wonder if someday it will be revealed that each partner is the biological father of one of the 'twins'. Has anyone seen a picture of their faces? Of course it would have been turkey baster a deux.

This whole thing is a disgusting farce.
The only good is that the Department probably runs better (I use the term loosely) when Butt-Gig is NOT there,

Someone from this vegetable clown administration stated that they were working on this since the day the First vegetable took office?? Really? So, next excuse will be Trump's fault. Right. Except no one recalls this mess under the former President, just under this lying POS who calls himself basement inhabitant.
