These people on Fox have to have everything spelled out for them like they’re in kindergarten.

[@zombiebillcosby]

That’s an insult to children. At least they’re willing to learn. Teaching these people is like herding cats.

[@timperry6948]

Yes, a single child in kindergarten has more self-awareness and compassion than the entire Fox organization combined.

[@christiandauz3742]

That's an insult to cats! Heck, even roaches are disgusted at Fox 'news'

It must be such a pain dealing with the prejudice. I could tell the first time I saw you that you have a fine mind and you are working for the good. Thanks guy. Wish we had a lot more like you.

Brett probably apologized to Pete after taping, “sorry man, you know I’m just throwing some red meat to our bigoted viewer base”.

[@yodieyuh]

His viewer base is rabid about flight cost reimbursements? "Sorry I asked you if the other flight ticket was reimbursed and sorry for mentioning a flight cost controversy on air, you know the GOP is out for blood on that topic."

[@LeviathanLee]

@@yodieyuh Does the unnecessary distinction of his husband present really have to be pointed out to you. Because based on your comment you missed the OBVIOUS point.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@yodieyuh So when you watched this video, and Pete spent most of it making his point that "this was never a concern with any previous straight couples, so why is it a concern for my relationship?" -- you just heard a mosquito sound the entire time or something?

[@avian_donn3369]

Secretary Buttigieg does so well on Fox and in Congressional hearings and on other media channels because he actually answers the questions that are asked. He doesn't double speak which always makes the speaker sound like they have something to hide. He doesn't try to constantly deflect to planned talking points that have nothing to do with the questions. He just answers them. Straight forward. Plain language. And leaves the gotcha questioners with nowhere to go except fumble around for an exit.

[@Bcdf-ei9el]

Well said!

understood was probably the best possible thing he could have said at that point

​@@noneyabizz8337 The opposite is true. He's the best Secretary of Transportation we've had in decades. Remember his predecessor, Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell's wife? She didn't do anything. But Secretary Pete is implementing the $1.2 trillion infrastructure act to upgrade our infrastructure!

Mr Buttigieg you stood up to the Fake Fox News anchorman with great conviction of your personal beliefs and commitment to your spouse. You represent the American Crown as federal Minister of Transportation with great respect for the office of which you are sworn to uphold. American Crown translates to American Government.
