Crickets from Buttigieg on Detroit bridge blockade as he hones in on Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill for kids

What exactly are we paying Pete Buttigieg for?

The U.S. transportation secretary is yet again missing in action during another developing crisis, this time in the form of a blockade of the Ambassador Bridge to and from Michigan by Canadian truckers protesting their country’s COVID-related mandates.

On Monday, protesters supporting the Canadian trucking convoy in Ottawa closed down traffic on the bridge that connects Detroit, Michigan, to Windsor, Canada, and which carries 25 percent of U.S.-Canada trade.

As a result of the blockade, both Ford and Toyota were temporarily halting production, the latter at three separate plants in Ontario, Reuters reported Wednesday.

Unsurprisingly, Secretary Buttigieg has said nothing, nor has the Department of Transportation issued any statements concerning the blockade. Rather, he is directing his energy on a proposed bill in the Florida state legislature that would prohibit sexuality from being taught to children in “primary” grades. The Biden regime oh-so-cleverly and yet stupidly refers to the bill as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Buttigieg’s only comment thus far comes in the form of a tweet where he attempted to appeal to veterans by reminding everyone that he set foot in Afghanistan at one time.

The secretary has been outspoken on matters of identity politics and, as the darling of leftist media, was hailed as the first openly gay Cabinet member in the U.S., though Richard Grenell, former President Trump’s Acting Director of National Intelligence (a Cabinet position), preceded Buttigieg and is also a homosexual.

He doesn’t seem to have a lot of time for his prestigious, top-level job, however. Buttigieg took two months off for unannounced paternity leave during the height of the shipping crisis last year, and he stood in silence as the rest of the nation discovered mass train robberies and looting in Los Angeles, CA that were unchecked and disrupted the flow of goods across America.

As BPR reported, Fox News’s Tucker Carlson was but one of many who has criticized the ineffectual and habitually absent secretary.

At the time, Buttigieg took umbrage with Carlson’s commentary.

“As you might imagine, we’re bottle-feeding and doing it at all hours of the day and night,” he said on CNN’s “State of the Union” in October of last year.

“And I’m not going to apologize to Tucker Carlson or anyone else for taking care of my premature newborn, infant twins,” Buttigieg told Jake Tapper.

To be sure, his “let them eat cake” attitude toward America’s transportation needs seems to become him.
