Pete Buttigieg is the transportation secretary and he is not too great at it. Since he has become such a mess, The Hill decided they might need to run some cover for him.
The article is all about what a bad hand he was dealt along with a laundry list of what his Republican opponents are saying about him.
It makes it seem like if only the mean ole’ Republicans would leave him alone, he would be fine.
Transportation post has become political nightmare for Buttigieg https://t.co/lOhLPCv0RM pic.twitter.com/OUKTmvEMf4

Poor pitiful Pete, we should all feel so bad for him. Yes you read that right for HIM, not the people who have been hurt by his policies, not the people of Ohio, the nightmare is for Pete Buttigieg… *insert eye roll*
So, you guys are focusing only on Buttigieg and not the ACTUAL rail disasters?! SMH

Well they can’t blame it on anything he has done since he hasn’t done anything.

Of course, they would focus on him, we can not have people thinking Buttigieg should be responsible for his own actions or anything.
Are you aware he's the US Transportation Secretary, or nah?

Why does it matter that he is the transportation secretary? Should he be responsible for his own job? That is such an antiquated point of view. Things that happen to Democrats are never the fault of their own actions or policies!
Come on man!
Yes, it's a problem for HIM, not the US citizens exposed to hazardous, cancerous chemicals in the air, water & land.

Exactly. Ohio knew what they were doing! Buttigieg on the other hand has to deal with this mess they have made. Poor Pete.
Yes, HE is the real victim in all of this, surely.

Yeah, that Ohio debacle is a real nightmare…for, uh…Pete.
— FunkyPox (@corrcomm) March 5, 2023
OBVIOUSLY!
How will @SecretaryPete ever get through this trying time?
— Republicanvet91 (@Republicanvet91) March 5, 2023
Only with the help of those like ‘The Hill’ who are willing to show up and point out the real problem: his republican detractors.
Perhaps because he is unqualified for it.

This is what happens when you promote someone who has no skills to a position of importance. It’s not just a photo op job
— Joe (@Wehback) March 5, 2023
See those pointing out he may not have been the best pick for the position are just Republican opposition and you should NOT listen to them.
It's been worse for rail workers and the People of Ohio.

Sure, the people of Ohio have had a rough time of it with the toxic chemicals and all, but Pete is the real victim here. We should not lose track of that.
Can you imagine how incompetent you have to be to have the Secretary of Transportation be a household name in America
— Justine (@BruinJustine) March 5, 2023
HA! In all seriousness, we follow a lot of politics and we have for many years and we can not name previous Secretaries of Transportation so the fact that Pete Buttigieg is talked about often enough for the average Joe to know who is, is quite an achievement. Not a GOOD achievement, but an achievement nonetheless.
He can’t catch a break! https://t.co/p9TUQeZZaw

It is so sad. If only those mean Republicans would stop making trouble, like train derailments and stuff…
CORRECTION: Buttigieg has become a political nightmare for the transportation post. https://t.co/POwjY5c7WQ

Pete Buttigieg is a rising star for the Democrat Party now faces obstacles others never have to deal with.
He is not the problem. You are!
Poor pitiful Pete.
