Wired Magazine’s Profile of Pete Buttigieg Sparks Controversy

Trigger warning: This article contains language that some may find disturbing.

What Happened:

Wired magazine recently published a profile of Pete Buttigieg, the transportation secretary who gained notoriety for finishing fifth in the 2020 Democratic primary.

Why It Matters:

Journalists often compare themselves to firefighters running into a burning building to save democracy. They pride themselves on speaking truth to power and afflicting the comfortable while comforting the afflicted. However, the Wired profile of Buttigieg is none of those things. Instead, it’s a parody-defying example of a liberal journalist groveling before a mediocre Democratic politician like a tween girl at a BTS concert or Joe “I’m Gonna Smell Your Hair Now” Biden in a room full of tween girls.

What They’re Saying: “Democrat press secretary is the easiest job in town,” said former GOP aide John Ashbrook.
