Pete Buttigieg Nails 2 ‘Very Rare’ Signs That Trump Administration Is ‘On The Back Foot’
HuffPost
The former Transportation Secretary highlighted some “telling” reasons involving President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says President Donald Trump and his administration are “on the back foot” following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, highlighting some “very rare” signs during an appearance Wednesday on MS NOW.
Buttigieg joined “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” to discuss the administration’s disastrous response to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents in Minnesota shooting Pretti on Jan. 24, including White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller calling him a “would-be assassin” on social media.
Pretti, who was shown in eyewitness videos filming an altercation involving federal agents 11 days before his death, was wrestled to the ground, disarmed and fatally shot. Psaki noted that Vice President JD Vance has “been largely silent” on the issue since the incident.
She then asked what Buttigieg hopes people might learn about “who the vice president is.”
“I think the Trump administration is so far on the back foot that you’re seeing two things that are very rare: Donald Trump backing down and JD Vance shutting up,” he said. “When you see those two things happening at the same time, clearly something big is afoot.”
