Buttigieg has been on paternity leave since August as supply chain crisis worsened

America is in crisis. If Mayor Pete can't do his job then he should quit. Why wasn't his absence reported until now? 

Family is important, yes. But liberals tell us all of the time that government service is a higher calling. 

From Fox News:

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has been on paternity leave since mid-August – with his time off coming amid the Biden administration's efforts to quell the supply chain crunch and the ongoing infrastructure debate on Capitol Hill to move forward with President Biden's agenda.

Buttigieg's office told Politico Playbook this week that he has been off since mid-August to spend time with his husband, Chasten, as they welcomed two newborn babies.

"For the first four weeks, he was mostly offline except for major agency decisions and matters that could not be delegated," a spokesperson for the Department of Transportation told Politico Playbook this week.

"He has been ramping up activities since then." The spokesperson said that as he slowly gets back to the grind, Buttigieg will "continue to take some time over the coming weeks to support his husband and take care of his new children."

Then again is Buttigieg even qualified to be Transportation secretary? Prior to running for president his job was mayor of South Bend, Indiana. The small Indiana city has a bus fleet of 60 vehicles.
