DANA PERINO: BUTTIGIEG'S POLITICAL AMBITIONS ARE DWINDLING RIGHT BEFORE HIS EYES

'The Five' co-hosts discuss the Department of Transportation Inspector General
investigating Pete Buttigieg’s use of private jets. 

Conservatives blasted recent coverage from The Hill that appeared to paint
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as the victim of the numerous scandals
that have plagued his tenure.




The publication promoted the headline "Transportation post has become political
nightmare for Buttigieg" from its Twitter account on Sunday with an article
remarking how the position and its frequent problems have been complicating the
former South Bend mayor’s political image.

"When Pete Buttigieg became Transportation secretary at the start of the Biden
administration, some Democrats said it would be a perfect platform for his
political prospects if not in 2024, then 2028," Amie Parnes and Alex Gangitano
wrote. "Instead, the job of Transportation secretary has been a set of
compounding problems for Buttigieg, 41, who has been seen as one of the
Democratic Party’s brightest stars."

BUTTIGIEG DODGES QUESTIONS WHILE HIS PRESS SECRETARY REFUSES TO BE ON CAMERA IN
EAST PALESTINE 



Twitter users quickly attacked the headline for refusing to hold Buttigieg
accountable for any problems as Transportation secretary.



"CORRECTION: Buttigieg has become a political nightmare for the transportation
post," RedState Senior Editor Joe Cunningham joked.



Josh Hawley communications director Abigail Monroe agreed, "Nah, I think it’s
Buttigieg that’s the nightmare."

Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.


Substack writer Jim Treacher joked, "That poor man."



"Incompetence sucks," National Review contributor Pradheep Shankar wrote.




"Mayor Pete: Victim," Ron DeSantis deputy press secretary Jeremy Redfern
declared.





Podcast host and conservative commentator Mary Katherine Ham wrote, "I'm sorry
this is happening to you." 



The Federalist columnist Eddie Scarry tweeted, "He can’t catch a break!"



Buttigieg was originally nominated to the position by then president-elect Joe
Biden in Dec. 2020 despite many people noting the transportation issues within
his own city. Since then, the country has seen several transportation-related
issues arise in multiple states.

PETE BUTTIGIEG ODDLY ASKS TO TAKE REPORTER’S PICTURE AFTER DODGING HER QUESTIONS
ABOUT OHIO DERAILMENT 

During the past holiday season, Southwest, one of the largest airlines in the
nation, canceled approximately 15,000 flights despite Buttigieg previously
predicting no issues for the holidays. Additionally, Buttigieg was slammed for
his handling of the supply chain crisis in 2021 including a trucker shortage and
several clogs and logjams in rail yards and docks.

Most recently, Republicans and even some Democrats have attacked Buttigieg for
his slow response to a train derailment and toxic chemical spill in East
Palestine, Ohio. Buttigieg took 10 days to initially respond to the disaster and
was accused of attempting to downplay the issue.

waited to long to make a public statement on the Norfolk Southern train
derailment in East Palestine, Ohio on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023.   (WKBN)

On Feb. 27, the Department of Transportation's internal watchdog confirmed to
Fox News Digital that it is opening an audit into Buttigieg for his extensive
use of private jets since assuming his position in 2021. A report two months
earlier showed that Buttigieg has taken at least 18 flights on taxpayer-funded
private jets despite frequently suggesting aggressive actions on climate change.
