Joe Biden refered to his running mate Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, as “Kamala’s wife” so it not shocking that he got mixed up with Pete Buttigieg’s same-sex husband. In introducing Buttigieg as his Secretary of Transportation nominee, Biden called Buttigieg’s husband “Kristen.” Maybe Joe’s not as onboard with gay marriage as he lets on.
As Def-Con News reported earlier, Biden has nominated gay Alfred E. Newman to head the Department of Transportation because the South Bend mayor likes to play with trains. In announcing his nominee, Joe was being Joe and botched it:
“The long term challenges this nation faces in the future are in this cabinet’s hands. It’s a cabinet that is battle tested, qualified, experienced, creative, innovative, and forward-looking and yes, representative. And today, I’m proud to introduce its newest member, for Secretary of Transportation I nominate Mayor Pete Boot-a-gidge,” said Biden.
He might have have actually said “Boot-a-jizz” which would be more appropriate, but he definitely mispronounced his name. According Mayor Pete, his name is pronounced “Booty-Judge,” which again is a fairly appropriate name for a gay guy.
I guess messing up Buttigieg’s name wasn’t as bad as when Biden introduced “Xavier Bach-a-ria” as his nominee for the non-existent position of Secretary of of Health and Education Services, but he should know who the hell his nominating for his cabinet.
And speaking of not knowing people, Biden waxed nostalgic about Buttigieg’s husband Chasten, sort of.
“His husband is an educator — always, always the mark of good character, as way I look at it. And by the way, Jill and I have always enjoyed seeing Pete and Kirsten — Chasten, I should say — together on the trail. Chasten has become a close friend of Jill’s and mine,” said Biden.
They’re such good friends, Joe thinks he’s a girl.
This is not unlike when Biden was talking about how tight he and Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff are:
“My wife Jill, as you know, and Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s wife are there,” Biden said.
We can add spouses and genders to the list of things like math and geography that Biden really sucks at.
For his part, Mayor Pete really sucks at heading up a cabinet position. After the botched intro from Crazy Joe, The Booty Judge said he was going to root out the inherent racism of transportation:
“At its best, transportation makes the American dream possible. At its worst, misguided policies and missed opportunities can reinforce racial, economic, and environmental injustice,” said Buttigieg.
In addition to ruining the country, we can expect the Biden administration to once and for all get rid of all those racist airports and semi-trucks.
This is going to be a really dumb 4 years if Donald Trump can’t pull some magic out of his hat and get the results of the 2020 election corrected.
