Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg responds to Maddock's 'little girl' tweet

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg had something to say to Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock when he visited the North American International Auto Show on Wednesday.

Buttigieg, an openly gay member of Democratic President Joe Biden's cabinet who recently moved to Michigan with his husband, Chasten, and their two children, was asked about the homophobic tweet Maddock posted Sunday that referenced him.

"We’re so blessed this weak little girl moved to Michigan!" Maddock tweeted. "Looks like he’s bringing all his California Dreaming here with him."

Buttigieg said of Maddock: "She wants to talk about little girls. Chasten and I are raising a little girl, and a little boy, and we are raising them to have better values."

1. She is a vile punk

He is a hardened war veteran...

While there, Buttigieg was part of a unit assigned to identify and disrupt terrorist finance networks. Part of this was done at Bagram Air Base, but he was also an armed driver for his commander on more than 100 trips into Kabul.

2. Meshawn would be wise to avoid sparring with Sec. Buttigieg...

Alas, she is not wise. She will be having her place in the insurrection exposed soon enough.

MAGAT? $100 says her kids don’t like her.

[LuckyLib]

15. She manages to do a slam that is both homophobic

and misogynistic. She demeans and diminishes women by using the term “little girl” for a gay man. Good grief what a piece of work!

17. I'm so proud of Secretary Pete.

He's working relentlessly at his job and will probably turn out to be the best transportation secretary we have ever had. Joe did a good job picking him.
