Gay Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has revealed the biggest scandal to hit the Republican Party in the 2024 election, and its not the 34 criminal convictions of former President Donald Trump, the classified governments he took from the White House, or the childless cat ladies comments that have continually haunted Trumps running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).Speaking inside Chicagos Sheraton Grand Hotel last Thursday during the Democratic National Convention (DNC), Buttigieg said, Most people say elections arent really about policy anymore, but if you think about it This is an extraordinary thing, that the biggest scandal to hit the Republican Party in the 2024 election, the one thats the most damaging, the one theyre actually most afraid of, the one thats gotten them doing damage control, isnt a criminal cover-upalthough they got one of those too. It isnt a sex scandal, although and he reportedly trailed off, according to Jezebel, alluding to Trumps illegal hush money payments to cover up his alleged extramarital affair with adult video performer Stormy Daniels.

He then revealed the scandal, saying, Its that they wrote down their own policies, and everybody saw what theyre planning to do in this country, and its wildly unpopular. That is the thing that they might not recover from.

He added, I actually think were still under-reacting to Project 2025.The 900-page blueprint includes plans to ban abortion nationwide and to require doctors to report abortions and miscarriages to the federal government. It calls for removing LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination protections and for the federal government to promote a biblically based definition of marriage (i.e., only between a man and a woman) and to reinstate the Trump-era ban on transgender military members. It calls for the firing of numerous nonpartisan government employees, the jailing of journalists and activists, and the dismantling of the National Weather Service, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Education, and other federal agencies, as well as all government-funded diversity, equity, and inclusion (or DEI) initiatives. It all calls for a mass deportation of undocumented immigrants.Democrats repeatedly mentioned Project 2025 during DNC speeches, with out gay Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) and others even showing a large bound copy of the blueprint onstage during their speeches. While a recent YouGov survey found that Democratic voters are more likely than Republicans or independents to have heard of Project 2025, a majority of all Americans who have heard of it are very or somewhat against it. Trump has repeatedly said that he doesnt know anything about the blueprint, but at least 140 people who worked in his administration had a hand in its creation, writing 25 of its 30 chapters. Hundreds of Trumps stated goals for a second term match the blueprint. Trump has a close relationship with its lead architect, Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, and Trumps running mate wrote a violent foreword to Roberts book praising his ideas and calling for the murder of Democrats and liberals.Donald Trump and JD Vance their Project 2025 will make things much, much harder for people who are just trying to live their lives, Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz said during his DNC speech. They spent a lot of time pretending they know nothing about this, but look, I coached high school football long enough to know and trust me on this: When somebody takes the time to draw up a playbook, theyre going to use it.
