Pete Buttigieg 'has no right to say anything' about plane crashes: Sen. Markwayne Mullin

Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) insisted that Pete Buttigieg "has no right to say anything" about plane crashes — despite his experience as the nation's former secretary of transportation.

Mullin lashed out at the former transportation secretary in a Tuesday Fox News interview after Buttigieg demanded to know how many FAA personnel President Donald Trump had fired before a plane crash on Monday.

"Well, first of all, Pete Buttigieg, who was a mayor, and that was his only qualification, has no right to say anything," Mullin told Fox News. "Remember, he had 90 percent of the workforce working from home, and then he required them to come to the office, including himself."

"And so, right now, you have Sean Duffy, who is doing his absolute best to bring accountability back to the agency," he continued. "Not one critical person was let go. And Buttigieg knows that, but he doesn't care to do it."

Mullin also blasted Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) for asking when Trump was going to take responsibility for planes crashing on his watch.

"A guy who dated Fang Fang, that was a Chinese spy, has no room to say anything about anybody," he quipped. "He's just reckless and trying to get attention because he knows his time has passed."
