Buttigieg Slams Rep. Greene's Taunt to 'Stay Out of Girls' Bathrooms'
Skullduggery podcast.Greene, a far-right, anti-LGBTQ+ Republican from Georgia, made the remark at a so-called Save America rally held Saturday in her home state.
She ridiculed Buttigieg, the U.S. secretary of Transportation, and his husband by saying, “You know what? Pete Buttigieg can take his electric vehicles and his bicycles, and he and his husband can stay out of our girls’ bathrooms.”“The reason you hear somebody like that making nonsensical, literally nonsensical comments like that — I don’t know what you’d do with an electric vehicle in any bathroom — they don’t want to talk about what we’re actually working on,” Buttigieg said when Skullduggery host Daniel Klaidman asked him about Greene’s rant. “So they’re going to keep tripling down on anything that can divide and demonize and demoralize, and through that capture attention.”Buttigieg added that Greene isn’t worthy of the attention she gets. “If I were to make a list of the 10 or 20 or 50 or 200 members of Congress whose commentary or thoughts or words it would be the most constructive to be debating or weighing right now, it wouldn’t be the two or three members of Congress who get the most attention on Twitter for whatever outrage they try to outdo each other on,” he said.Buttigieg, the first out Senate-confirmed Cabinet member, also denounced Florida’s new “don’t say gay” law, signed by Republican Gov.
Ron DeSantis Monday. The law restricts classroom discussions of sexual orientation and gender identity, outright banning them in early grades.“Look, bottom line, it’s hurting kids,” he said. “I think about what life might be like for our kids when they start school.
