\"\"Secretary of Transportation Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg<\/em><\/p>\n

Thebesig has as usual beaten me to the day’s big story of the I-95 snow and ice debacle, so there’s no reason for me to rehash that particular incident. There is a point to be made about overarching factors, though.<\/p>\n

Passengers on AMTRACK trains were stranded in the same weather event, and the cancellation of thousands of commercial flights continues due to the weather and Covid infections of vaxxed personnel. Over 100 ships are still waiting off the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to unload.<\/p>\n

Our Vice President took this special moment to once again announce her disassociation with the realities facing all Americans not of the political class.<\/p>\n

Kamala Harris savaged for ‘tone deaf’ Tweet as hundreds stranded – ‘America moving again’<\/h3>\n

VICE-President Kamala Harris was mocked on social media after stating America was “moving again” thanks to Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan but hundreds were left stranded for 24 hours on a large US motorway.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Kamala Harris praised Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan and said it was helping millions of Americans by rebuilding roads, bridges, funding new public transport links and addressing social inequalities. But the Vice-President was quickly derided on social media after people in Virginia were left stranded on one of the largest highways in America, the I-95, for over 24-hours as a snowstorm prevented lorries and cars from moving. Some vehicles were abandoned and traffic trailed back 50-miles as 400,000 people were also left without power for their homes.<\/p>\n

Ms Harris tweeted on Tuesday: “Because of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, America is moving again. That’s what infrastructure is all about: getting people moving.”<\/p>\n

But critics quickly pointed at the chaos in Virginia where hundreds of thousands of people were disrupted by snowstorms.<\/p>\n

@ljmontello wrote: “Why, why oh why would anyone think this tweet is a good idea at the same time I-95 is trending for a 12 hour+ 30-50 mile standstill?<\/p>\n

“Are you guys *trying* to write GOP midterm attack ads for them?”<\/p>\n

@Jaegervonkramer added: “Do you have anyone on staff that understands current events and context?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n

Kamala’s message timing could hardly have been worse.<\/p>\n

The Jaegervonkramer remark is telling, as another top advisor to the Vice President is joining the exodus of staffers. Her deputy director of public engagement and intergovernmental affairs Vincent Evans is moving on, as communications director Ashley Etienne, her director of press operations Peter Velz, and her chief spox-person Symone Sanders already have.<\/p>\n

All very interesting, AW1Ed, but the point?<\/p>\n

We have a Transportation Secretary. Where is he? Here’s another perfect opportunity to showcase his leadership abilities, especially since he’s on the short list for 2024. Yet silence. If Youngkin was indeed the Governor of Virginia, Buttigieg would be in full throated attack mode and writing tax dollar checks.<\/p>\n

Seems he is showcasing his abilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
