Biden taps Buttigieg to serve as Transportation secretary
By Julia Manchester - 12/15/20 02:05 PM EST

President-elect Joe Biden has tapped former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg (D) to serve as Transportation secretary, according to a person familiar with the pick.

Buttigieg would be the first openly gay Cabinet secretary to be confirmed by the Senate if installed in the position. Rick Grenell, who served as the acting director of national intelligence from February to May, was the first openly LGBTQ Cabinet secretary.

The former mayor ran against Biden in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary before dropping out and endorsing the former vice president. Despite his loss, Buttigieg at times was seen as a front-runner in the race and is viewed as a rising star in the Democratic Party.


Buttigieg has been a vocal supporter of Biden since his endorsement earlier this year and campaigned for the former vice president virtually. Buttigieg also served on Biden's transition team.

No derogatory comments aimed at another Briefer...that's one of the things that's highly frowned on.

I get that, but it normalizes continued discrimination, it is at least tacit encouragement to a hostile environment that feeds into serious problems in the mental health of millions of Americans.  Its not friends in a bar giving each other shit, its an ingrained problem in the party and I think it should be called out and left in the past.

Its a razor thin margin that separates a GOP win from a D win...

Political correctness is strangling the insult genre and murdering comedy.

Don Rickles, Lisa Lampanelli, Jeff Ross, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog (Robert Smigel), Andrew Dice Clay. It’s all funny. Without the insult you end up with Trevor Noah. Without comedy you end up with Joyless Behar.

I hate political correctness!

So then no one is gonna get mad here if i were to say christians are backwards and deluded, and abortions are good? That anyone supporting the confederacy, the confederate flags, and statues is an anti-american racist?

Okay, fair is fair.

Except only one of those groups that has a highly elevated rate of suicide and substance abuse is still the LGBT population...so there's that....

Now..do you have anything relevant or intelligent to say about the original topic?  Or are you going to continue to be a butt hurt troll and keep taking the thread off the rails?

Yeah, at least there is a good development out of this for the LGBT community and I'm happy for them.  I also think they can view republican ideals as worth voting for when they don't feel like a lot of republicans think they are vile and mock them.
