TRAIN WRECK: All the Transportation Scandals on Pete Buttigieg's Watch

Despite the former mayor's conspicuous lack of qualifications, President Joe Biden made Buttigieg the U.S. secretary of transportation in order to boost the whippersnapper's meager résumé and add some "diversity" to an administration stacked with Ivy League nerds.

Buttigieg has since presided over a number of transportation-related scandals that reflect rather poorly on his leadership skills. Nevertheless, the alleged wunderkind continues to be lovingly profiled by journalists who rave about his "star power," his humble weekend strolls among the "artisanal stalls at Eastern Market," and his ability to recite talking points on television.
