Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Republican focus on cultural issues like"gay pride" and gender transitions is"maddening."
"It is maddening sometimes to look at the split screen on cable TV, and I'm trying to make sure people are aware of the literally tens of thousands of good projects we've already supported around the country," he added. Buttigieg's comments come after a heated Appropriations Committee hearing, where Republicans advanced a plan to slash his department's budget and attached amendments to defund gay community centers, some of which would have used taxpayer dollars to promote transgender drugs and surgeries.
Rep. Ryan Zinke made clear that the amendment was not a product of bigotry but rather one about what the government should be involved in funding with public money.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER
