White House Admits No ‘Point Person’ During Buttigieg Paternity Leave, Cargo CrisisCharlie Spiering 19 Oct 2021
The White House on Tuesday continued to defend Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg for remaining on paternity leave, as cargo ships wait outside the nation’s ports and the supply chain crisis continues.
Psaki claimed that Buttigieg was working, but would not say whether he had physically come back to work. Asked by Newsmax reported Emerald Robinson whether Buttigieg had left a “point person” in charge during his absence, Psaki said Buttigieg’s work was being handled by a “rang of officials.”
“There are a range of officials leading different components of the department of transpiration including the chief of staff, the deputy secretary of transportation, a range of officials who keep that place humming, functioning every day,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki replied, when asked about when Buttigieg would return to work full-time.
The secretary has taken off two months of paternity leave already, after he and Chasten adopted twin babies in mid-August, and he plans to continue to take time off despite the controversy over his extended leave. Buttigieg convened a meeting about the cargo crisis in July, but it has only become worse.
