Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked during an interview on CNN this morning for his thoughts on the very odd campaign ad from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign.
As usual, Pete had the perfectly “shaded” response.
As I shared on Friday, the spot splices DeSantis in between photos of shirtless men while attempting to paint Donald Trump as too LGBTQ-friendly.
“I’m going to choose my words carefully, partly because I’m appearing as secretary, so I can’t talk about campaigns and I’m going to leave aside the strangeness of trying to prove your manhood by putting up a video that splices images of you in between oiled-up shirtless bodybuilders.
“Who are you trying to help? Who are you trying to make better off and what public policies do you get up in the morning thinking about how to solve?”
