Literally every MSNBC lib’s excuse:

He's not their CEO. He does not run Southwest. Why is this his job and not the CEO's??

You yourself said that the attacks by Fox News were in 'bad faith' and then proceeded to repeat those exact 'bad faith' attacks. The situation was much improved for all airlines other than Southwest. What preemptive action would have prevented the software failure? And Congress?

This is kinda silly....under what law exactly would DoT have authority to "investigate" Southwest crew scheduling process? Hint: there's not one...

Did you seriously just air a six minute segment complaining about Buttegieg inaction on delays and refunds that doesn't even acknowledge that DOT issued a proposed rule on that exact subject five months ago until a casual aside five minutes in? Do better

Good grief - even the most perfunctory research would show you what a bad take this is

Chair filler and rabble rouser Mehdi Hasan wants to know why the two year head of the DOT didn’t solve fifty years of deregulation and internal failings at a private company. But @DJInsom has a question for Mehdiocre: Wouldn’t it be better to have learned how laws work by now?

Either Pete has power and refuses to use it because he takes bribes from corporations, or Pete has no power and there’s no reason to keep him in office or even have a transportation department at all.

Pete’s staff is bringing all of their bot accounts into this thread.

Mehdi Hasan thinks Pete is John Anderton from the film 'Minority Report'. John Anderton was a police officer tasked with preventing crimes before they happened. Apparently Mehdi is a precog that can see crimes before they happen.
