Buttigieg Accepts the Criticism, Not the Critics

“Pete Buttigieg admits he got it wrong on the Ohio train derailment response. But while the criticism is fair, he says, the critics are mostly not,” CNN reports.

Said Buttigieg: “It’s really rich to see some of these folks – the former president, these Fox hosts – who are literally lifelong card-carrying members of the East Coast elite, whose top economic policy priority has always been tax cuts for the wealthy, and who wouldn’t know their way around a T.J. Maxx if their life depended on it, to be presenting themselves as if they genuinely care about the forgotten middle of the country.”

He added: “You think Tucker Carlson knows the difference between a T.J. Maxx and a Kohl’s?”
