Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was not happy tonight when a Daily Caller approached him about East Palestine while he was walking toward his destination.
He refused to give a comment to reporter Jennie Taer, referring her to interviews he’d done today on the topic.
Buttigieg told Taer he was taking ‘personal time’ and, for some reason, asked to take a photo of her.
Watch:
I asked Secretary Buttigieg about the crisis in East Palestine and I guess he didn’t like that so he took a pic of me. Im just doing my job, sir. @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/HjKNgF25FJ

You would think that Buttigieg could at least take a moment to give a brief answer to her question instead of taking the pompous route.
In fact he admitted today that he could have spoken out sooner:
"Do you wish you would've spoken out sooner [on the Ohio train disaster]?"

But he didn’t and that’s the official record. Just like tonight, he’s too busy and arrogant to give any statement, even when it would have taken only a moment of his time.
That tells you all you need to know about Biden’s transportation secretary.
