Safety for Americans was not a priority of the Biden administration.

Pete Buttigieg's presidential hopes are bringing renewed scrutiny to his performance while running the Department of Transportation under the Biden administration, and it is not going well.

The DOT approved tens of billions of dollars of grants for diversity, equity, and inclusion programs but stalled efforts to upgrade obsolescent air traffic control technology, according to a New York Post report.

The report cited airline industry insiders and spending records from the federal government.

In one damning incident, Buttigieg reportedly told industry executives that upgrading air traffic control systems would only lead to more airplanes being put into the air, which would not be in his interest.

"He was definitely pushing an agenda," said one industry official, who went on to accuse Buttigieg of having "little to no interest" in the needed air traffic control system upgrades.

"At first, [the Department of Transportation] and he were reluctant to say there was an air traffic controller shortage or that the shortage had anything to do with flight delays or flight cancellations," the air industry official said.

Sources said that Buttigieg spent much of his time defending DEI policies from critics who said they put the public at risk through traffic controller shortages.

Every time you turn around there's something going wrong with an airplane or some other aspect of our transportation system. After a 4 year deplorable presidency that made Carter's time in office seem like a utopia

It's trump's fault though.

2 to 6 months into his presidency.

yeah, like he walked in on day one and fire bombed air traffic control

Mr Trump inherited a failing department but he's fixing it.

Pete's woke agenda is dangerous for public safety.
