Pete Buttigieg tries to take DeSantis down on 'The View' but it backfires SPECTACULARLY



Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg joined Joy Behar, Sara Haines, and Ana Navarro on 'The View" this week to talk about Florida’s new “Parental Rights in Education” law — which he absurdly claimed "will kill kids" — before going on to add inflation and high gas prices to his list of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis' faults.

"Your husband, Chasten, is a teacher and he's been a vocal critic of what's going on in my state of Florida when the, with the so-called 'don't say gay' law, which he says will kill kids. Do you agree?" Navarro asked Buttigieg.

"Yeah, he's right," Buttigieg answered. "And I think every law to be judged for the effect it's going to have on real people in real life, and I get the political reasons why they're doing this. By the way, some of those political reasons (laughs), they don't have a plan on anything else, right? I mean, they don't have a plan on dealing with inflation or dealing with gas prices or dealing with the issues."

Buttigieg's bizarre claims immediately drew harsh criticism on Twitter.

\u201cThey don\u2019t have a plan for dealing with inflation, or dealing with high gas prices\u2026.\u201d says the Secretary of Transportation.\n\nOh there\u2019s a plan. The voters have noticed that these problems became problems when your administration arrived. That\u2019s fixable.\n\nNovember is coming.

\u201cThat\u2019s correct. Kids will die unless we let teachers talk to 5, 6, and 7 year olds about sex behind their parents\u2019 backs.\u201dpic.twitter.com/LM5SZs2LAa

From the same people that pushed forced lockdowns & school closures, causing sharp increases in adolescent depression, suicide rates, not to mention learning loss.

So Pete has just as much knowledge of the FL law as he does of Transportation then?
