Buttigieg Against DEI

Former Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg chastised the practice of DEI initiatives while speaking to the DNC Chair. That’s correct – the same forum that blamed Kamala’s loss on racism and misogyny. Buttigieg recently moved to Michiga,n where he is expected to run for state governor. The Democrats are turning on the very policies they aggressively pushed after realizing the people will no longer vote for woke insanity.

Pete Buttigieg said: “What do we mean when we talk about diversity? Is it caring for people’s different experiences and making sure no one is mistreated because of them, which I will always fight for? Or is it making people sit through a training that looks like something out of Portlandia, which I have also experienced, and it is how, it is how Trump Republicans are made if that comes to your workplace with the best of intentions, but doesn’t actually get at what actually matters here.”

Apparently, DEI initiatives create “Trump Republicans” as people want to be judged on their character and qualifications rather than their race or sex. Pete Buttigieg is the DEFINITION of a DEI hire. He had absolutely no qualifications to lead the nation’s transportation sector. Biden cheered that Pete would become the nation’s first openly gay person to be confirmed by the Senate to a Cabinet position. Biden said he was appointing Pete to be in his “Cabinet of barrier-breakers” and openly said he was there “BUILD BACK BETTER.”

What qualifications did he have other than diversity? Some say that he helped handle some transportation issues while acting as mayor of South Bend, Indiana. Certainly, that could not be the BEST American for the job.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recently lashed out at DEI quotas, partially blaming the program for the recent Delta plane crash. “You couldn’t fill the role rather than us just simply saying, we need the best and brightest individuals, and we’re going to hire you specifically on merit. We’re going to train you specifically on merit,” Senator Markwayne Mullin stated. As a result, class sizes shrank to 80% to 70% of capacity to maintain DEI required ratios. “So Pete Buttigieg carries no credibility. The only reason why he was there was probably because of DEI to begin with,” Mullin said.

Now, Buttigieg is pivoting his stance completely. Yet, as Transportation Secretary, he established the Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity (ACTE) to force employees to undergo civil rights and equity training; he repeatedly apologized for having too many White people in his office. During his 2020 campaign for president, he openly stated that he wanted minorities to vote for him. “I need help, so the black voters who know me best, the people of South Bend, helped return me to the office by an overwhelming margin,” Buttigieg begged.

Following more of his speech at the DNC Chair:

“If we were more serious about the actual values and not caught up in vocabularies and trying to cater to everybody only in terms of their particular slice of combinations of identities versus the shared project. Actually if we thought about it a little bit differently, things like diversity would be actually an example of how we reach out beyond our traditional coalition.”

Politicians will claim to support any agenda that garners votes. Pete Buttigieg moved up the political ranks as a direct result of DEI hiring practices and now he is criticizing his own party for becoming “caught up in vocabularies” and not focusing on “actual values.” Expect more “progressives” to switch their stance and pretend they never supported the woke madness.
