Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has a knack for completely breaking issues down into digestible soundbites. However the best way he humiliates Fox Information personalities each time may lead one to imagine that it’s some perverse type of proper of passage for the right-wing media outlet.
Tuesday’s contestant was Lawrence Jones, whose try and press Buttigieg about President Joe Biden’s dealing with of the GOP-created debt-ceiling disaster of 2023 backfired.
“It’s funny,” Buttigieg responded, “Sometimes I feel like conservative media and the Republican Party still think they’re running against Joe Biden.”
“I think in any job, but especially the presidency, you want to be judged by your results,” Buttigieg continued, itemizing the Biden administration’s success rising jobs during the last couple of years.
Jones then tried to drift the inaccurate idea that Biden was cognitively impaired when he negotiated with the GOP to resolve it, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi needed to take over.
“He won the debt ceiling negotiations,” Buttigieg replied, slicing by way of a stumbling Jones. “That’s the point. You can go over whether he slips up and says one name when he wants to say another name, or you can look at what he’s actually accomplished as president. It turns out he’s really good at being president of the United States.”
Should you don’t keep in mind, Biden efficiently outmaneuvered the Republican Occasion, which within the ensuing dysfunction ousted their very own speaker, Rep. Kevin McCarthy.
