Whew. I have never seen a more brutal takedown of Trump’s cabinet than Pete Buttigieg here. No academic, high-brow rhetoric. Just simple, vivid language that everyone can understand & get behind. A masterclass from Pete. Watch this.
"Too often we talk in terms that are academic. And, when we're talking about deeply important things like freedom and democracy. We still have to have a way of talking about it that relates to how everyday life is different and how your everyday life is different and worse."
"Sec Defense in charge of defending the American people...accidentally texting military strike info to journalists. The person in charge of American public health who is a quack & doesn't believe in medicine & now, measles is on the rise...
"A sec of education in charge of your educational well-being who has spoken about the importance of A1, which means she doesn't understand that the acronym is AI, which means she doesn't understand the most important development affecting education in our lifetime."
"We have a Sec of Homeland Security who sat on funding and didn't allow it to go to TX during the floods for at least two days, for no good reason. So these things do affect you, not for academic reasons but because of what happens when you have a loss of accountability."
"Those are the kinds of things that we need to talk about before anybody can hear us in these high-minded, academic discussions about freedom and democracy." 100%. /END
