“It’s not just ineffectual — it is hurting people in order to get attention,” Buttigieg said of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis sending migrants to Democrat-led cities. abbott kprc2 click2houston lgbtq
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg blasted Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for sending migrants en masse to Democrat-led cities — accusing the Republican governors of using vulnerable people to call attention to themselves.
In a wide-ranging discussion with Texas Tribune CEO Evan Smith, Buttigieg, the first openly gay Cabinet member confirmed by the Senate, called out Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn for“I've met both of your senators and your governor,” Buttigieg said. “I don't know their spouses. I don't really think about their marriages. But I can't imagine a situation where I would attempt to undo one of their marriages.
in which Cornyn says same-sex marriage is “already the law of the land. I think it’s a contrived issue because the Supreme Court decided the issue, so I don’t see any reason for the Congress to act.”Buttigieg also blasted Abbott for directing the state’s child welfare agency to investigate parents who allow their transgender children access to gender-affirming care.
“Some of the best use cases for electric vehicles are in places like Texas,” Buttigieg said, “places where people spend more time in their vehicles, where you drive longer distances than in a dense coastal city and therefore spend more money on gas and therefore would save more money — provided you can afford an electric vehicle, which is why we're fighting to make electric vehicles cheaper.”
“Cars will always play an important role in our lives, but you should not have to bring two tons of metal with you everywhere you're going,” Buttigieg said Thursday night.
