Buttigieg goes into a 'time out' in middle of East Palestine disaster: asks if he can dox a reporter via photo



Yes we can't

Possibly as incompetent as Kamala Hahahaharris, the so called Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, reportedly snapped a photo of a journalist from the Daily Caller News Foundation after he refused to answer her questions about the East Palestine, Ohio train disaster caused by a derailment of a train while transporting dangerous chemicals. 

She simply wanted to know why he was "taking some personal time" in the midst of this clusterfrack and he responded by seemingly trying to dox her.

The key word here is "transporting," as in "transportation." You know, the thing that Buttigieg is the Secretary of.

The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Jennie Taer caught up to Buttigieg, whose main qualifications for the job is that he's gay and he is married to another man who is also gay. 

She asked him a series of questions about the train derailment and subsequent chemical fires — primarily what he might have to say to local residents who have concerns about the safety and quality of the air and water in their homes. 

Before this Washington, D.C. meeting, Buttigieg has tried to dismiss the disaster by pointing out the fact that there are thousands of derailments every year in the U.S., a fact that adds to his lack of competency, but he's evidently too narcissistic to realize this point.

“I asked Secretary Buttigieg about the crisis in East Palestine and I guess he didn’t like that so he took a pic of me. I’m just doing my job, sir,” Taer tweeted.

She also shared a video of the encounter:

“Hi, how are you, Jennie Taer at The Daily Caller News Foundation,” she said as she approached the former South Bend, Indiana, mayor who couldn't even get the potholes filled in his town. “What do you have to say to the folks in Ohio — East Palestine — who are suffering right now?”

“Well, I’d refer you to about a dozen interviews I’ve given today,” Buttigieg replied as a way of not answering her question. Then he added, “And if you’d like to arrange a conversation you should reach out to our press office but I’m not going to have that conversation with you just walking on the street.”

[This may be due to Mayor Pete's inability to walk and talk at the same time.]

“You don’t have a message for them?” Taer pressed.

“I do, and I’ve shared it with the press many times today and I’d refer you to those comments,” he said.

“Would you mind sharing it with us?” she pressed.

“No, I’m going to refer you to the comments that I made to the press because right now I’m taking some personal time and I’m walking down the street,” Buttigieg continued to stonewall her because he's a government employee paid by the taxpayers of this country and doesn't have to tell them what he's doing just because he's getting paid by us.

Taer persisted, asking the Transportation Secretary whether he planned to make a visit to East Palestine – and he said that he did intend to go, but then refused to give specifics when she asked when he might be making that trip.

“I’ll share that when I’m ready,” the gay Transportation Secretary said, and then stopped and turned to face her. “Can I get a photo of you?” he asked.

Joe Concha, a Fox News commentator and Media and Politics columnist for The Hill, suggested that the mainstream press’ failure to address the situation was part of the problem.

“This is how elitists who are made uncomfortable act out. Amazing how few members of the press are commenting on this,” he said.

If Buttigieg was a straight White male, he would still be in South Bend, Indiana watching the potholes grow.
