U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg defended his job performance and pointed to a project in Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s home state of Kentucky after the senator said Buttigieg was more focused on “woke initiatives’' and media coverage than his day job.
“Even amidst a catalog of crises on his watch, from this and other recent train derailments, to the meltdown in air travel back during the holiday season, Secretary Buttigieg has seemed more interested in pursuing press coverage for woke initiatives and climate nonsense than in attending to basic elements of his day job,” McConnell said on the Senate floor Monday.
