Pete Buttigieg is a Rhodes Scholar and graduate of both Harvard and Oxford. He served his country in Afghanistan, as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and Navy Reserves.

Yet, 13 United States Senators voted against him being on the cabinet.

You’ve got someone like Tuberville with the power to vote no on Pete. He couldn’t carry Pete’s lunch box.
