Doesn't Pete Buttigieg have an airline crisis to take care of? -

 Monica Showalter; American Thinker   "Is Pete Buttigieg the secretary of Transportation, or the secretary of gayness?

"Hard to not think it's the latter, given his horning in with his review of a presidential campaign ad by Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis.

"According to NBC News:

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg took aim Sunday at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for a video attacking former President Donald Trump over LGBTQ rights.

DeSantis’ presidential campaign reposted a video to Twitter last week showing overtures to the LGBTQ community by Trump over the years, including video of him saying he would “do everything in my power to protect our LGBTQ citizens” in a speech at the Republican National Convention in 2016. Trump issued the remarks in the wake of the deadly mass shooting at the Pulse Nightclub, a gay nightclub in Orlando, Florida.

The second part of the video shifts to focus on DeSantis, appearing to try to portray him as the paragon of masculinity. Thumping background music is accompanied by images of DeSantis, shirtless, muscular men and headlines about the anti-LGBTQ policies DeSantis signed into law.

"I guess Pete found that sexy -- and the rest of us? We hadn't noticed.

 

"Buttigieg went on and on about this, making the ridiculous claim that DeSantis, whose record in office in Florida is one of unparalleled success, not just on individual matters such as hurricane recovery, but in turning a purple state red, was somehow trying to "prove his manhood," as if he, the Mr. Mom of the Biden administration, were somehow the authority on this matter.

 

"Now, this is not to say that the ads were good -- President Trump's former top advisor, Ric Grenell, who is gay, noted that they were indeed homophobic, and let's face it, it's stupid for DeSantis to criticize President Trump for his reasonable welcoming of gay people to his administation and in his policies. Most people, both gay and straight, had no problem with Trump's policies. Worse still, the ads don't reflect the real DeSantis, and therefore are inauthentic, as Grenell noted here.? . . .
