Sean Duffy takes credit for Pete Buttigiegs infrastructure grants
One look at Transportation Secretary and former Road Rules contestant Sean Duffys official X feed makes clear that his politics are partisan and hes all about fealty for the president hes serving under.Duffy manages to tie a long list of MAGA prejudices to his transportation checklist in service of Trumps nihilistic agenda. For instance, he notes a white woman murdered on light rail because of Democrats soft-on-crime policies, noncitizen Indian truck drivers prioritized over the SAFETY of AMERICANS, and jackhammering Pride crosswalks because Far too many Americans die each year to traffic fatalities.
