Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn’t have to use that many words in his latest assessment of how his replacement, current Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, is doing at his old job.

Buttigieg linked to an article in The Atlantic that outlined how Duffy is allegedly using the regulatory power available to him as transportation secretary to potentially get rich people to donate to his son-in-law’s congressional campaign.

The article explains how one family that owns a business supply company has tried for years to get Obama-era safety restrictions on the hours truckers can drive rescinded, arguing that restricting the hours truckers can drive leads to “increased inefficiencies and expense” for their business. The owners of that company donated $1 million to a PAC that’s supporting Michael Alfonso’s congressional campaign in Wisconsin. Alfonso is married to Evita Duffy-Alfonso, Sean Duffy’s daughter with Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy.

Duffy announced a pilot program last fall allowing truckers more flexibility in work hours, something Duffy said would get “Washington out of your trucks and your business.”

Buttigieg didn’t mince words. “Drain the swamp,” he wrote, sharing the article.
