"A lot of people, when they have a job, they use that job to run for a different office. And I think Mayor Pete, uh, Secretary Buttigieg, was running for president while he was the secretary of DOT and didn't pay attention to the basics."
"Duffy said that Buttigieg focused on 'DEI and climate' while he was at DOT, referring to diversity measures and plans to prepare for the effects of climate change and to reduce rising global temperatures. Both of these issues were priorities for the Biden administration."
Sean Duffy, the current Transportation Secretary, has repeatedly blamed his predecessor Pete Buttigieg for problems occurring during his tenure at the Department of Transportation. During a CNBC interview, Duffy rejected claims that Buttigieg left the DOT in good condition, asserting that Buttigieg was running for president while serving as secretary and neglected basic departmental functions. Duffy specifically criticized Buttigieg's focus on diversity initiatives and climate programs, suggesting these priorities distracted from core transportation management. Duffy has made similar accusations regarding aviation crashes and other issues since taking office, though these criticisms appear disconnected from Buttigieg's role implementing Biden administration policies.
