Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg's top political donors received millions of dollars in city contracts after giving thousands to his campaigns while he was mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Buttigieg's political action committees took money from 23 companies who then got jobs from South Bend's Board of Public Works on which he was seated, documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal.
On two occasions, the former presidential candidate received donations the same day the companies were awarded contracts.
Other city contractors gifted the mayor cigars, alcohol and golf trips worth hundreds of dollars. The companies, their executives and spouses donated a total $253,750 to Buttigieg's campaigns, and received a total of at least $33,280,426

Don't try to understand this - - if you're a heterosexual.
It's a gay thing.

That homosexual dirt bag couldn't fix potholes in South Bend. Now he's in charge of our transportation infrastructure. Only in the corrupt and inept Brandon regime.

That's 210 thousand million.
It may be hard to believe but a trillion is a 1000 billion.
Think about it because you're gonna pay for it.

However, Buttgigger is a piker compared to Biden... Biden would have gotten 10%, not a mere Quarter Million.

Has he been psychologically examined to see if he is TRULY gay, and not just play gay for the $250k and the “gifts” plus the much bigger payday if he follows the bi.den/huncher playbook?

Anyone else I would say this is a Butt clinch moment,
but in his case that is probably impossible.

I may be swimming upstream, but his gayness has nothing to do with this. He’s just another Dem crook. And his conduct in office shows this to be a pattern of behavior for him. Bad for a transportation secretary sitting on a pot of gold like the infrastructure money.

DailyMail UK does a fabulous job researching/presenting information.
They should have denied he & his husband children, because he's a CROOK!
I surmise his hubby is of the same ilk-birds of a feather & all that.

What a minute! Mayor Pete -- now Secretary Pete -- is from Indiana. Apparently he learned far too much from the politicians in the state immediately to the west, i.e., Illinois. This is what Illinois pols do! We've had four governors serve time in Federal prison for corruption not unlike this.
Illinois has been around for 200 years as a state. So that's one crook who got caught every 50 years. Pete must have read up on them.

#12, the way I see it, the gayness is why Mayor Butt, AKA Pothole Pete, was selected to be secretary of transportation despite having zero expertise in the area. It's also why as a failed mayor of a small city, he was touted as a serious candidate for the US presidency. His sexuality is his selling point, and it's the same reason why The Squad, all camera-friendly Colorful Women of Color pushing radical leftism, are in the news all the time despite being incredibly stupid.

The safe bet is that the majority of the (infrastructure) billions the Buttigieg and his crew are getting ready to dole out will go to leftist, progressive, and socialist Democrats who don’t have a clue when it comes to actual infrastructure projects. The wimpy Republicans should wake up and follow the money, and the eventual kickbacks, related to all that wheeling and dealing.

This isn't the corrupt pay-to-play gay Democrat official you are looking for. Nothing here, move along. His corruption is a resume enhancement for the libs. They are jealous and wish they could get away with it as well.

Of there is a “D” behind an individual’s name, more likely than not, he is corrupt. Not saying Republicans are purer than the driven snow, but you can bet on a democrat being a disgustingly corrupt pay to play dishonest slime bucket. It’s just who they are. They believe they are entitled to whatever benefits they feel their position affords them. It’s how they do business, Mafia style.

Sounds like graft to me. He is a member of a sitting President's Cabinet. What does his Attorney General have to say about this?

Pete is a pansy...no question about his motive...he's in it for himself...and this proves just what's he's all about...money and power...not what's best for America....he's a woke who wants what he wants for himself...I feel sorry for the two children he adopted...they were used to justify his end...time to question his credentials for his office regarding transportation....he couldn't run his mayoral job when it came to routing buses in Indiana...so why did biden/obama put him in charge of transportation...it was a joke...a in your face attempt at Americans...

OP, I would submit that we’ve already had a gay man president who is married to another gay man and has children besides.
Except that the other gay man dressed as a woman and the children were rented, not bought, like Buttplug’s kids are.

#39, Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud by marrying her own brother, and she and AOC both engaged in highly questionable campaign finance "activities" in which they paid their boyfriends' so-called consultancy firms using donated money (in other words, the money went straight into their own pockets). Both remain very high-profile members of the US House of Representatives because they, like Mayor Butt, are role models for New Marxist America.
#41, points well taken, though in keeping with modern American values I classify Michael Vaughan as a transgender woman and the husband as a down-low homosexual not bold enough to bust out of the closet.

Nothing will come of this as Agency Boi Pete is being groomed as America's first gay man president who's married to another gay man, and who has children besides. Truly a role model for one and all, leading the charge to dismantle the old ways and usher in the new.
