(Not The Bee) Gay Mayor Pete went on the Daily Show, a former comedy program, to complain about Republicans and explain that he can’t fix the roads and bridges (or keep trains from derailing, I guess) because Republicans want to protect women from men in their private spaces.
Hit it, Pete!
Secy. @PeteButtigieg tells the Daily Show: House Republicans’ bill restricting transgender participation in women’s sports is “really getting in the way of our ability to” repair bridges & railroads.

Okay, so it is tough to blame Pete for this exactly. The interviewer totally framed the question to make Pete say “yes, you are right, it’s the culture wars.” But still, he COULD have taken responsibility for his failures.
But no, he embraces the wack framing.
Pete complains that during one of his sessions in front of Congress, a recess was called and ALL the attention was taken off of him for a few minutes.
The lady interviewing him shaking her head in disbelief is AH-mazing.
“You mean Republicans want to protect teenage girls from having to share private spaces with naked young men? That’s so awful! You mean to tell me Republicans are more concerned with keeping girls from bodily injury than your rants about ‘racist roads‘? How evil and despicable!”
Pete goes on:
