Ted Cruz rips Buttigieg at CPAC: ‘What the hell does this guy gotta do to get fired?’
Fox News
Ted Cruz asked how Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg could still be holding onto his job after the chemical spill in Ohio, the private jet scandal and other headaches.
Buttigieg waited 10 days before talking about the train derailment that led to the chemical spill, and that’s one of several black marks on his performance as a cabinet secretary in the Biden administration. Buttigieg has been criticized for on over-reliance on expensive private air travel, even as he watched airlines cancel thousands of flights in 2022, in part because of a system failure at the Federal Aviation Administration late last year. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
Buttigieg has also come under criticism for making arguments that the federal highway system is racist, while coming close a few times to a rail strike that could have crippled the economy.
