Pete Buttigieg is a Rhodes Scholar and graduate of both Harvard and Oxford. He served his country in Afghanistan, as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserves.

Yet, 13 United States Senators voted against him being on the cabinet.

You’ve got someone like Tuberville with the power to vote no on Pete. He couldn’t carry Pete’s lunch box.

That Pete is for the working folks and that he is gay is sufficient for those 13 asses. They don't care about intelligence, or ability except the ability to genuflect before the reich wing rich.
