Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stayed hush on the massive train derailment that occurred in Ohio earlier this month as he celebrated the Biden administration’s infrastructure investments on Monday.Speaking at the annual National Association of Counties conference, Buttigieg praised ongoing infrastructure projects across the nation, calling it an “exciting time” to watch the $1.2 trillion Bipartisan Infrastructure Law roll out over the transportation sector.

Yeah, you can’t tell me that this guy wasn’t hired because he’s gay.
