This is really stupid, the reason you know who Buttigieg is is that he was a high-profile presidential candidate who a lot of people had strong feelings about so for the first time ever people are paying attention to who the Secretary of Transportation is. https://t.co/SzJYMbDJmE — PolitiTweet.org

It’s totally fine to have zero information about the Department of Transportation, its past leaders, etc but given that you don’t know or care anything about this you should interrogate your desire to express strong views about the current secretary’s job performance. — PolitiTweet.org

In particular, Buttigieg was a candidate associated with the moderate faction of the Democratic Party so both leftists and conservatives are highly motivated to criticize him. And fair enough — welcome to the big leagues, kid. But don’t delude yourself about what’s up. — PolitiTweet.org
