Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg vowed to investigate the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands over the holidays. But @mehdirhasan has a question for Buttigieg: Wouldn’t it have been better to try and keep this crisis from happening in the first place?

@SecretaryPete was too busy biting his toenails to notice the abuse of power by #airline and #railroad owners. You'd figure the training he got at #McKinsey and the #CIA would have been enough to make a leader out of him.

Can’t wait until Buittigieg investigates this and nothing happens, as usual.

In which Mehdi reveals himself as a member of the Joy Reid caucus of Pete haters who have been extra butthurt ever since he won Iowa. They hate him for his race, his age and his temerity in beating their sacred cows. Cry harder. Pete's not CEO of Southwest. 1/

Yo! @MehdiHasanShow @mehdirhasan, cover Pete with more honesty & integrity vs. this 🐴 💩 you’re throwing at us. Watch, listen and learn from the clip below for pointers. Give credit where it’s due vs. making problems where they don’t exist. Pete’s a solution guy! Honor that!
